Snow that fell across most of Western Washington spared evening commuters but still caused spinouts, collisions and one dramatic car flip onto a light rail track.

There were no reports of major injury accidents Tuesday night but Washington State Police spokeswoman Julie Startup described slick roads and "a ton of spinout collisions."

One car traveling down a slick, snowy hill in the south Seattle suburb of Tukwila slid over an embankment and landed on its roof on Sound Transit Central Link light rail tracks. The driver suffered minor injuries; the tracks were cleared by late Tuesday night.

Strong winds accompanied the snow in parts of east King County, including a 49 mph gust in the town of Snoqualmie.

On Nov. 22, slick roads, blowing snow and temperatures in the mid-20s turned the evening commute in Seattle and nearby cities into an hours-long crawl.

Across inland Western Washington, rain was forecast to replace the snow on Wednesday, National Weather Service meteorologist Dustin Guy said. That transition happened Tuesday night on the Washington coast.

Guy said he had unofficial reports of 3 to 5 inches of snow around Bellingham, 5 inches on the Olympia Peninsula near the town of Elwha, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches around Hood Canal and 1 1/2 to 3 inches in Seattle.

As much as 2 feet of new snow was forecast for the central Washington Cascade mountains.

East of the mountains, snowfall in the Wenatchee and Ellensburg area started about 8 p.m. Tuesday, with snow in Spokane not expected until early Wednesday when 4-8 inches could fall, Weather Service meteorologist Jeffrey Cote said.

Valleys north of Spokane could see 5-10 inches, he said. From Spokane south, that precipitation should change to rain late Wednesday.

"Wave after wave" of weather systems, paired with warmer temperatures and rising snow levels, could swell some small streams and cause some urban flooding into the weekend in Eastern Washington but Cote said no flooding was expected on mainstem rivers.

In Western Washington, meteorologist Doug McDonnal said no flooding was anticipated except for possibly on the Skohomish River.
