This Is The Nicest Snow Anyone's Ever Seen

University Place was treated to an un-February-like dose of sun Monday. But the National Weather Service predicts that the Puget Sound could still see some white stuff Tuesday.

If Monday was supposed to be a wintery day, then there's plenty of people who'd wish winter was here everyday.

Despite bleak forecasts, University Place residents and others who live in the Puget Sound area were treated to sunny skies and crisp air.

At Chambers Creek Properties, a stream of walkers and joggers, as well as users of the Playground by the Sound, took in the nice weather.
