Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Somewhere it will snow or at least try early this morning. As I mentioned in Thursday’s column any sticking snow the next several days will be above 1,000 feet. However, if temperatures are close to the freezing mark as precipitation begins, then snowflakes down to sea level. Or if a heavy shower comes by, snowflakes down to sea level.
As I write this column Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service in Portland issued a winter weather advisory for Clark County mainly above 700 feet for an inch or two of wet snow. Best chances to see snowflakes in the air are Salmon Creek northward to Ridgefield over to Battle Ground and of course communities in the foothills and higher elevations.
This is not a classic snow event and it may be over by the time you read this paper. The incoming weather front has limited moisture and hardly any cold air to draw from down through the Gorge.
We do remain cool this week with another brush with low elevation snow on Tuesday and perhaps later in the week. Highs will be in the 40s and lows in the 30s and with any clearing, upper 20s.
