Well, things sure got exciting for a large portion of the Salem area yesterday. A fairly substantial snow/graupel shower moved right through town Thursday afternoon coating (at least briefly) all surfaces in white. The temperature at the Salem airport dropped from 41 down to 34 within an hour due to this intense shower.

Cool today with a decent amount of cloud cover. It sure feel like winter out there, and the patches of ice from yesterday’s little storm make it even more wintry like, but nothing exciting is expected from these clouds today.

Tonight

Mostly cloudy with occasional showers. Cold with temps in the upper 30s. We should escape with just a cold rain here in the valley as snow levels stay around 1500 feet.

I’m aiming to have another more detailed update later tonight, but the active winter weather looks to continue with another possible chance for snow this Sunday, but more on that later tonight….

Have a great Friday!!
