The National Weather Service issued the snow warning for the Washington Cascades and Olympics as a cold front hits Western Washington.
Forecasters expect up to a foot of snow at higher elevations in the Cascades and 4-to-9 inches in the Olympics above 3,000 feet.
The snow warning for the Cascades has forced some highway crews to delay mowing grass and return to the mountain passes with snowplows.
The Transportation Department is sending plows and deicing equipment Monday night to Snoqualmie, Stevens, White and Chinook passes and the North Cascades Highway.
