SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — The Inland Northwest woke up with heavy snowfall. Several inches of snow have fallen through Spokane and North Idaho, with some areas likely to get more than a foot of snow throughout the day.
More snow is on the way through Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The Spokane area will see about 6-8" of snow through Wednesday night. Some places like Newport or Sandpoint might get more than a foot by the time it ends Thursday. Areas in south-central Washington are warm enough that the snowstorm might be a rainy event.
Here are some photos of snow across the Inland Northwest that people have shared in our KREM 2 app:
