I know I’ve said this before, but I need to claim my victories and give myself a pat on the back when I can, because it doesn’t always work out this well lol. 😉   I’m very happy with how the forecast is turning out so far.  Very light (and spotty) sleet & ice early this morning transitioned to snow around 10am.  Since then we have had snow or a snow/rain mix falling nearly all day long with temperatures holding steady in the mid 30s.   

As of 5pm, Salem’s high temp was 37°.  I imagine we are done “warming up” for the day and we should gradually begin cooling back down from here on out setting the stage for the next (and perhaps better) opportunity for accumulating snow.

What’s next?

We get a bit of a break this evening with only a few scattered snow showers.  Tonight we eventually cool off to around 32 – 34°.  Around 4 – 7am a more organized batch of snow showers will roll through.  This could give anyone a quick inch or so of snow.  It all depends on where the heaviest showers end up, but don’t be surprised to see snow tomorrow morning.

During the day Thursday expect more rain & snow showers, but roads should be fine once again.

I don’t want to be known as a broken record, so I’ll just tell you that Thursday night and Friday’s weather will be a near perfect copy of the weather we see tonight and Thursday.  😉

Saturday – Monday will be dry and sunny.  Still chilly, especially in the mornings, but with how it’s been going lately I suppose we should take what we can get.  Lows 28 – 32° and highs 48 – 53°.
