The snow begins ... on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2019, at 4th and Washington in Seattle.

It rarely snows in Seattle, and when it does, the city takes a breath ... and loads of photos. Here are some shared with us by listeners and readers.

We begin with two sweet pup photos, because Seattle likes to photograph its dogs in snow:
