taste of winter #1

Worse in Portland - but this will do!  Winter Storm Watch for a bunch of us.

* ACCUMULATIONS...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS COULD REACH 1 TO 4 INCHES...WITH ROUGHLY A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF ICE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

The east wind has been filling the area with cold dry air, step one in the process.  I now have the wind gage working on our weather station thanks to a base-receiver reboot.  I do wish I had thought of that earlier...

********** Snowstorm Update!! ***********
Nothing - just a few flurries and snow pellets.  No ground covered, no big deal at home.  Still not a great day to drive with nervous folks all around, but the storm did not come as far north as expected.  One of the weather models did get this right with its more southern landfall, and it was not the ECMWF this time!
