A powerful, coast-to-coast storm is bringing heavy snow, high winds and ice, putting parts of more than two dozen states under winter weather alerts.

At Seattle-Tac Airport, 44 flights had been canceled and 28 delayed this morning [as of 7:42 a.m.], according to FlightAware.

Alaska Airlines makes up the majority of those cancellations and delays.

Snow letting us know winter is far from over

The National Service Seattle says it does not expect the snow to accumulate more than an inch anywhere outside the Olympic Peninsula.

But temperatures could dip below freezing north of Seattle, and that could lead to patches of ice on the road.
