While dad Chris Walker operates his homemade snow-making machine at their West Seattle home, daughters Suscha Walker, 6, (green hat) and Illah Walker, (red hat) 10, get a sleigh ride from their mom Maia Low. Chris Walker looked at Snowathome.com, which tells how to put together plumbing and hoses to mix water and air, using an air compressor to keep a constant into the nozzle.
The temperature dipped to 18 degrees this morning at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, setting a record low for the date.
Meteorologist Johnny Burg at the National Weather Service office in Seattle said the previous record low at Sea-Tac for the date was 21, set in 1972.
Olympia also set a record low of 6, Burg said, breaking the 1972 record of 10.
