They flip-flop more than Kerry
As of 3am, the NWS says 30% chance of snow overnight, with snow likely AFTER 10am Saturday, with some winds starting to move in, changing to rain late in the day and through the rest of the weekend.
Quite a change from the original "ZOMGWTFBBQ WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE ITS THE STORM OF THE CENTURY 4 inches of snow and 65mph winds." Looks like they expect winds in the metro area around maybe 35mph now? Geez. Mark & Dave wanted to name the storm the other day. I don't think they would have let me on the air with this, but I nominate it the "Blue-Balls Storm" I wanted snow and wind damnit!
Then of course it changed again, saying that there was a chance of light snow with no accumulation BEFORE 10am... So now that they think there MIGHT be accumulation of less than an inch AFTER 10am, I'm REALLY confused!
Otherwise, all is clear as of 3am in north Portland. NW and downtown were quiet on my way home. I was getting light snow with some rain mixed in in northern Vancouver around midnight, and that's all I've seen so far.
Hmm, radar looks clean on the NWS site too. Bah.
