As the night wears on the snow is now coming down. So far, it has been just a dusting, but later it will no doubt become more significant. By morning there will probably be about 3 inches on the ground. I brought all of the important stuff home from the church today, my laptop, favorite Bible, books, notes, etc..., so I can work from home tomorrow if the streets and highways are unfit for travel. Things should improve dramatically into the afternoon on Tuesday, which is good since I have two basketball games to officiate at West Valley High School in the late afternoon and evening. For those not in the Spokane area, West Valley is in the city of Spokane Valley, just east of the city of Spokane.
As I mentioned this morning, this snow is on the leading edge of warmer air that is coming in off of the Pacific. That means that it will be changing to rain by late tomorrow into Wednesday. Most, if not all of, the snow will be melting off as the week goes on. It has been about a week and a half since we have seen temperatures above freezing. The average, normal, high is still in the mid 30s, so what we have been saddled with is not at all typical of early to mid December. What is to come will be closer to the normal, so a warm up is not an unlikely occurrence, just a step back in the direction of what this time of year usually brings.
