S'No More! 5-9 Inches of Snow Saturday Into Sunday

Salem could see around a half a foot or more snow Saturday night into Sunday.

 

There are still huge snowbanks everywhere from the Blizzard of '13, even after moderate temperatures this week, but Old Man Winter isn't done with Salem.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning in effect until Sunday at 1 p.m. for a storm that will pass through the area starting Saturday night.

The forecast calls for 1-3 inches of snow on Saturday night and another 3-5 inches on Sunday, mainly before 4 p.m.

Visibility won't be great either, as winds could gust as high as 43 mph on Sunday, blowing the snow around and producing wind chill values as low as -2 on Sunday night.

The gusty winds will continue on Presidents Day, which will be sunny with a high near 32 but wind chill values as low as -4.

Is there any snow to go with your lunch Mr. Helms. When Patch becomes perfect I am sure weather forecasting will also become perfect. Until then I will wait until pigs fly.
