White Christmas Update!
Just a quick update for all of you blog readers out there...
Yesterday I blogged about the difficulty of predicting snow in the Northwest. As of today, it still looks like parts of Portland could see some snow on Christmas! Late on Christmas Eve, rain will begin in downtown Portland - but above 1,000 feet, snow will be falling - and it will be accumulating. After midnight on Christmas Day, as we head into the 26th, the snow level will start dropping lower than 1,000 feet. In fact, a mixture of rain and snow showers can be expected down at the valley floor by the morning of the 26th. There could be some slushy accumulation - but most of the accumulations will be above 1,000 feet. Up there, there could be five inches of snow on the ground by Wednesday afternoon!
I'll keep you posted here on the blog, and in our newscasts on NewsChannel 8.
Happy Holidays!

Joe,
it's snowing hard here in Nob Hill! It's partially sticking as well. I've lived here my whole life (33 years) and I can only remember two Christmas' that we've had snow. I'm glad your forcast was off, and so is my four year old!

I'm glad my forecast was off, too! The snow moved in a bit earlier than expected on Christmas - and what a treat. Glad you and your four year old got to enjoy it.
Joe
