The snow started well after the evening commute in eastern Washington on Thursday night and continues through Friday morning. Widespread 1-2 inches will fall across the Inland Northwest. Just enough to make for a nasty Friday morning commute.
There is a small chance of freezing rain or sleet on Friday afternoon and Saturday. It doesn't look to amount to enough to down trees or take out power, but it will definitely keep things slick until it all turns to rain by Sunday.
Seriously, next week is looking a lot warmer and a lot rainier on top of all this snow. With melting snow and widespread rain runoff, flooding will likely be a concern in the week to come.
