Is the cooler weather getting you in the holiday spirit? It was quite a change last week, diving from the 60s close to 70 degrees down to the 30s and 40s. Did you have a frost early Friday morning in your neighborhood?
If you got up early, you probably did as high clouds rolled in at daylight capping the overnight lows. Vancouver officially dipped to 34 degrees, the coldest this season and coldest temperature since March 29 when it was 32 degrees. I had frost in Salmon Creek. Kind of strange to see your breath after weeks of warm weather.
But still not a freezing temperature, so the inner city waits a while. With lots of clouds and rain moving in through Thanksgiving weekend, it may well be December. We will get a break between weather systems early Tuesday, so lows could drop back into the upper 30s.
The big news this week is snow coming to the mountains. If things go as planned by next Sunday, we may have 2 or 3 feet of new snow in the ski areas. The mountain passes such as Government Camp may have a foot or more by then.
