I mentioned Tuesday that we had a large trough of low pressure parked off our coast and looking at weather charts, it was still “possible” someone gets another flurry of snow. Also, that if it materializes it would not be much. That is exactly what happened. Some places around the county had a dusting of snow and others just flurries.
I expect more bands of snow showers may have snuck in overnight and some neighborhoods had another dusting or less than 1 inch on the ground this morning. I think things will settle down Friday and over the weekend, but highs will still be some 10 degrees below average and freezing at night.
Please welcome in March on Friday. We will give it a round of cheers and applause if skies clear, the sun shines and the snowflakes vanish. While Clark County was cloudy Wednesday and had little in precipitation but a few flurries, the coast had heavy snow showers and snow whitened the Long Beach Peninsula a couple times during squalls that moved in off the coastal waters.
Sooner or later we have to get out of this northerly flow of air. I was thinking that March would take the stage and provide us with some warmth, sunshine and rainbows in good fashion. Not quite yet.
