With temperatures expected to dip into the 30s this week, forecasters say western Washington low-lands could see their first 'measurable' accumulation of snow, and that is prompting a flurry of activity to purchase winter tires.
With temperatures expected to dip into the 30s this week, forecasters say western Washington low-lands could see their first “measurable” accumulation of snow, andCole McIntosh, a manager at Les Schwab in Edmonds, only expects it to get busier, “especially [after] the first snowfall. Probably 8 to 10 hour wait times. I mean it’s 7 in the morning until 9 o’clock at night,” he says.Many drivers put off putting on their winter tires until the first snowfall or at least until Nov.
McIntosh says studs can help get a grip on compact snow and ice but are actually not the best option for the soggy slush the Puget Sound region often sees, and instead recommends newer generation winter tires, that don’t use studs.
