Round three of the latest in snow events was to take place overnight, and this morning’s sunrise should be another white one.
Snow amounts really varied around Clark County on Tuesday, with a range of 2 inches to a foot of snow. Weather watcher Phil Delany above Dole Valley had 12 inches of snow and William Sobolewski on Livingstone Mountain had the most snow since December 2008. The greatest amounts were in the foothills.
There was snow for everyone; enough to close schools and cancel events Wednesday. The National Weather Service on Wednesday issued a winter weather advisory for our area for 1-3 inches of snow. Areas to our west may be the winners this go around, as the main low center was forecast to remain along the coast.
The next weather system drops down on Friday and brings heavier precipitation but also initiates a south wind ahead of it, so sticking snow will be closer to the foothills, say 1,000 feet. One forecast model shows colder air flowing in behind it and snow down to almost sea level. That is an outlier at the moment as I am writing this Wednesday afternoon, but the main message is we are not going to warm up for a while.
