The first snow of the season stuck to the ground in the Cascade mountains Wednesday. At Stevens Pass, Clark Little, a surfer from Hawaii, takes a picture of himself with his first snowman. He had never seen snow before.

Feel a bit chilly for early October? The National Weather Service forecast may make you shiver even more.

Snow is expected over the Cascade Range from central Oregon to the Canadian border by Wednesday night.

The weather service warns that the snow is likely to come in quick bursts, causing near-whiteout conditions for brief periods.

A snow advisory has been issued for all the passes in Washington state except for Snoqualmie Pass. The weather service is predicting 2 to 5 inches over most of the Washington Cascades by Thursday morning, but the area around Glacier Peak in eastern Snohomish County could get 7 to 10 inches.

In central Oregon through southern Washington, the Cascades are expected to get 4 to 8 inches of snow overnight.
