So Much Snow

On By bryanweatherIn The Mountains and Beyond1 Comment

Snowy passes through Saturday evening.

12 to 20 inches of new snow by Saturday night in the Cascades.

Low snow levels equals snow in the Coast Range with 2 – 8 inches of new snow now through Saturday.

Much better driving conditions for all mountain passes Sunday through Monday evening.

Snow returns to the mountains next Tuesday.

Jan 23 forecast

Rainy (heavy at times) every single day this week.  Wednesday and Thursday we have a chance for a rumble of thunder and hail with the heavier showers.  I left a couple little snowflakes in there for the lucky few who live higher up.  For the rest of us I’m keeping my original forecast of no sticking snow here in the city.  All we get is chilly rain for the rest of the week.

Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon look to be the best chance for dry weather.

Wet and cool

Jan 21 forecast

A lot of rain and mountain snow this week.  My thoughts on Thursday and Friday have not changed much except that I’m becoming increasingly confident we will not see sticking snow here in town.  Only a few slushy snowflakes mixed in with the nasty cold rain 😦

Plenty of snow in the mountains and foothills.

Saturday morning update

Saturday update

If you’re looking for a dry day then today (Saturday) is your best bet for a while, and even today we have a chance for a few sprinkles 😦   Lots of rain, showers, and wind at times Sunday through the rest of next week.

Snow next week?

MAYBE…

WHEN??  Next Thursday through Saturday (Jan 25th – 27th).

What’s most likely to happen??   Snow falling in the air.  The snow is probably not going to accumulate unless you are one of the few people who live “up high” in the hills outside of town.

What’s not very likely??  A snow day.   Unfortunately, it’s just not going to be cold enough to give us a snowy day off  from school or work.

Things can change:  At this point I don’t see any snow days coming our way, but that does not mean it can’t change…   I will keep you all in the know as we get closer.
