Snow poised to hit Washington

Washington enjoyed its first Christmas snow in eight years, but the threat of a significant snowstorm could complicate plans for people trying to return home on Sunday. A trace amount of snow graced the region Saturday, the first time snow has fallen on Christmas day since 2002, when morning rain turned into snow and sleet later in the day, according to data from the National Weather Service.

“It was just a slight amount, just enough to make Christmas Christmasy,” said Andy Woodcock, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.
