Well, what can I say? Another blast of icy precipitation reached Clark County on Saturday with on-again, off-again snow showers. The snow was so powdery, much of it was blowing off roadways. The bulk of the moisture, once again, remained to our south with Salem and Eugene leading the way with 3 to 5 inches.
Late Saturday afternoon, there was freezing rain in Eugene and sleet in Salem, indicating that the warmer air aloft nosed its way toward us.
Another low-pressure system swings inland today, and the bulk of the predicted ice storm will be today with maybe one-half inch of icing. That would make being outdoors in a car or on foot extremely dangerous, so stay inside.
We still have that huge low that dropped down from the Yukon, as we discussed Thursday, spinning west of the Oregon Coast. That giant low is merging moisture from the southern jet stream off California and spinning bands of moisture northeastward.
