Lisaeth, Anyelhn, Eric, Noe, Iker and Mariel (in no particular order), all of Monroe, enjoy sledding on the slope just below Miracle Field in Monroe on Saturday, Feb. 13. Snow rolled into the region Friday evening and blanketed the area with between six to 11 inches of snow depending where you live. Power outages were reported in numerous areas, including the Woods Creek area of Monroe and parts of Sultan near Mann Road. An overnight low of 26 degrees for Saturday, Feb. 13 measured at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport broke a record for temperature. The Washington State Patrol reported it handled 196 collisions in Snohomish County over the weekend.
