San Juan is turning into a winter wonderland and more snow is on the way with a predicted 3 to 6 inches before Tuesday morning. On Wednesday the forecast is calling for a total of 6 to 12 inches.

Islanders should keep an eye out for delays or cancellations to school and other activities.

Snow on Wednesday could change to rain, which could result in extremely heavy loads on roofs. Keep a close eye on car ports, sheds, and other structures prone to collapse.

San Juan Island public schools will start two hours late, Tuesday, because of snow. Buses will be on ‘snow routes’.

Classes begin at 9:45 a.m.  Morning kindergarten has been canceled, afternoon kindergarten will begin at normal time.
