SEATTLE - Better late than never.

Enough cold air moved in overnight and combined with some lingering moisture from a storm that blew through the area Tuesday to bring a little snow to the higher hills of the Eastside and South Sound early Wednesday morning.

Then, a Puget Sound Convergence Zone formed in the storm's wake, bringing additional snow showers to the area.

Here's some of the snow totals we have received:

Issaquah: 4"
Graham: 4"
Sammamish: 1-3"
Snoqualmie Ridge: 3"
Spanaway: 3"
Bonney Lake: 3"
Vail: 3"
Enumclaw: 3"
East Bellevue: 2.5"
Frederickson: 1"

A Snow Advisory remains in effect until 4 p.m. for basically the areas that already got snow. You could see another 1-2" in off-and-on snow showers through the early evening. That aforementioned Zone is still hanging around today, but it's not quite your textbook zone, aligning itself more northwest to southeast across western Snohomish County, into north central and east central King County (as opposed to the usual horizontal east-west alignment right across the King/Snohomish County line.)

That Zone has also brought some wet snow showers to western Snohomish County, including south Everett and Mukilteo. Just trace accumulations there.

For the rest of the Puget Sound area, just a few scattered rain showers -- perhaps a few snowflakes mixed in if the shower is heavy enough -- but no accumulations expected. Those showers will taper off this afternoon.

And actually, west of Puget Sound, we're looking at a generally dry afternoon with partly sunny skies. Highs will range from the mid-upper 30s in the "snow belt" to the low 40s in the other areas.

All areas dry out overnight with clearing skies, but that will allow temperatures to plummet into the mid 20s outlying areas to low 30s in the city.

Will This Year Be The Wettest Ever?

An aside to the snow -- we've been getting a lot of e-mail asking if this is the wettest year ever. Not quite -- looks like it'll end up being the 5th wettest year ever. Still quite a feat considering this summer was the second-driest ever.

1) 1950: 55.14"
2) 1996: 50.67"
3) 1968: 50.15"
4) 1953: 49.42"
5) 2006: 48.43" -- as of 11 a.m. Dec. 27
6) 1972: 48.36"

We don't expect any more significant rain before Jan. 1, so looks like our annual total will stay pretty close to 48.5". It does look like the 22.94" we've received since Nov. 1 will make this far and away the wettest two month period in history.

Where's The Sun?

Believe it or not -- or maybe it's not too hard to believe -- but Seattle has not seen what qualifies as an official sunny day in two months. The last day it was "sunny" -- as in, the sky was 30% or less covered in clouds -- was Halloween. It's been 57 days of cloudy or partly cloudy weather since.

I don't know for 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain we've never gone two entire months without a sunny day before. I'll do some research and get back to you.

For those that really, truly miss the sun, we might break this streak Thursday as sunny skies are expected.
