Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Did I say snow? Yep. We talked about this in my last column, and it appears the cold weather is on the way today after a good shot of early-morning rain. Snow levels will be dropping during the day and by late tonight will be down to 500 feet or so.
After the blast of rain overnight Saturday and early today, colder air will filter inland. Heavy snows will fall in the mountains. We can see some break in the weather this afternoon. Another colder storm arrives tonight and early Monday. That is when things get interesting.
If the precipitation is heavy enough and temperatures are near the freezing point, we could see a thin blanket of snow here at city levels. Maybe not on the roadways, but if we get flakes blowing through the sir during the morning commute, it will be a slow one.
Everyone will be watching the feisty white flakes hitting the windshield. Kids will jump with joy, but school and work should be open, at least at this point. Remember what I always say to you: A snowfall here in the city is usually a late-night call. Unless we have a deep arctic air mass over us, then any moisture would be snow, and that is when we get our greatest snowfalls.
