Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson said this is what Snoqualmie Pass looked like the morning of Dec. 26, 2024.
The Cascades are getting pummeled with heavy snow Thursday morning, making roads treacherous for drivers. Earlier Thursday, eastbound Interstate 90, five miles west of the summit near Denny Creek, was closed due to spinouts and crashes. It reopened about 40 minutes later. Drivers attempting to travel over Snoqualmie Pass on Christmas Day were met with a lot of snow, traffic, and plenty of travel restrictions. The pass was also closed for a time on Christmas Day due to spinouts and crashes.
On Thursday morning, there is compact snow and ice on Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass. Starting at milepost 47, chains are required on all vehicles, and even if you have all-wheel drive, by law, you must carry a set of chains in your car during winter travel.There’s a winter storm warning in the Cascades above 3,500 feet until 10 a.m. for an additional 6 to 18 inches of snow, so drivers may want to delay their trips over mountain passes until later.
