TRI-CITIES, Wash.– Eastern Washington and Oregon residents woke up to a blanket of snow. The First Alert Weather Team tracked some of the heaviest snow over Prosser, Benton City, Tri-Cities, Hanford and Walla Walla early Monday morning.
What started as a light snow event Sunday quickly gained momentum overnight in some locations. By 7am, 1-2″ was unofficially reported in downtown Yakima, with 4-5″ coming in as early estimates from the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla.
