Here's what the posting from the Department of Transportation is reminding drivers of:

We've got strong winds and a blizzard warning in the mountain passes today, PLUS the potential for coastal storms and flooding. If you're looking for a sign to delay your trip: THIS IS YOUR SIGN. In flashing neon letters!

Expect blizzard-like conditions and little-to-no visibility on Snoqualmie Pass. It will only be a winter wonderland in the sense that you'll be wondering where the heck you are on any given patch of land.
