The turn to winter continues.

After a mild Nov-Jan span lulled us into complacency, the February parade of cool Yukon air has now sat upon (or very near) us for three weeks now. Piles of shoveled snow remain from the storms that began on the 8th and peaked on the 11th, though the unshoveled snow had finally melted off our yard, deck and driveway in the past few days.

And now this. Almost three inches fell this afternoon as I came home from work. The wet flakes in Longview proper became a slick inch on the roads above 450 feet.

The forecast this morning was for several snowy nights with no real accumulation, followed by rainy days that would essentially rinse it all away. That's now looking pretty rare on this evening's chart above! The Sunday/Monday event could leave four inches, though w.Underground says 5-8" is feasible. They were pretty close with the earlier storm, though they stayed cool as the slow melt removed our saucer-runs on the driveway.

And this time?  Stay tuned!
