Some wild weather came through the Pacific Northwest on Friday afternoon, with a brief shot of heavy rain and some strong gusty 30-40 mph winds blowing leaves everywhere. Another weather front moved through late Saturday, and showers will continue Sunday. The rest of the week continues to trend towards colder and wetter weather.
Snow levels will tumble by the end of the week, with good mountain snows — and maybe, just maybe, some residents in the higher elevations around Clark County will see some snowflakes.
Just how low the snow will fall depends on many things that are too far out to pin down now, but stay tuned as always. I planned ahead and got my snow tires mounted on Saturday. The tire shop was not busy at all, but I advised them to get ready for a rush later in the week. I hate to put them on so early, but with traveling on Thanksgiving I will surely need them.
It’s a good bet that the mountain ski areas, at least the higher ones, will once again open for Thanksgiving. Let La Niña rule!
