20.8* this morning! Coldest it's been so far this winter. I've been getting in a lot of mid morning walks with the doggo, cold and sunny!

Sitting at 2.5" under a heavier snow band for the moment. Not sure how things will go from here, so basically I'm in radar watching mode hoping for the best!

A significant winter storm will impact the area starting after midnight tonight. Arctic air has spread across the area with most spots still in single digits here in the 9am hour. We won’t warm much today with an outside shot at a station or 2 recording a top 5 coldest maximum temperature for the day. Highs generally in the middle teens above zero. Snow probably begins during the 2am hour from SW to NE across the area. It will be snowing heavily by daybreak, and we should see many spots accumulating at least 6” of snow by 10am. After 10am we should see a quick change from south to north to a prolonged period of accumulating sleet which will slowly add to our snow totals. It is possible that some areas of southern Chesco could see up to 3” of sleet on top of the snow that had previously fallen. Sleet could mix with the snow at times by later tomorrow night before ending by 11pm. The NWS has a forecast for 8” to 12” of snow/sleet accumulation across the area. Southern Chesco could see some freezing rain, but those amounts look light at this time. We stay very cold all week following the storm so little melting will take place as temperatures will remain well below freezing for at least the next week. I expect many valley locations to see some morning with lows below zero.

I see its 25 in North Bend... must be the coldest of the season. Going to be a beautiful day.

26! A new low for the season! Things just keep slowly getting better!
