Winter has arrived as the east winds were blowing Saturday, keeping Vancouver’s high at 43. Other areas around the county barely broke 40. And what about the overnight low on Friday morning? Vancouver dipped to 23. Cold, but far from the record 9 degrees in 1972.
The weather system Friday night and early Saturday dropped .01 of an inch of rain in Vancouver. I had a report of light snow and sleet at the 1,200-foot level above Washougal on Livingston Mountain.
Farther east on Highway 14, there was light snow or sleet accumulation but nothing to stop traffic.
A stronger weather system rolls through today. Elevations of 200 feet in the Gorge should have another bout of light snow, sleet and freezing rain.
