Cold Coming Soon

A quick-hitting Alberta clipper brought an inch or two of light, fluffy snow to the valley late yesterday, and strong winds behind the system caused some significant blowing snow and travel problems. A similar system may have an impact Wednesday night, followed by another clipper system late Thursday into Friday. This will be the most significant, not necessarily in terms of snowfall but because of the bittery cold air that will move in behind it. Friday, Saturday and Sunday currently look to be the coldest days, with lows in the double digits below zero and highs possibly only reaching the single digits above zero. Probably not the best weekend for outdoor activities...
