After a Long Hiatus, Significant Snow Finally Returns to the Forecast

Finally, after one and a half months without significant snowfall, it
returns to the mountains. A series of strong Pacific storms are
forecasted to make their way into the inland northwest by Sunday
night. There's only one piece of bad news, however. The first in the
series of storms is Pineapple Express-fed. That means that the valleys
will see rain. Schweitzer Village is on the fringe of the rain-snow
line at 5,000 feet. Thus, we've just got to wait and see. If we all
think and pray for snow, not rain, maybe it'll work. Expect hazardous
weather outlooks and other watches and warnings to be issued later
today.

By the way, the 8-14 day outlook foresees a return to cool and wet
weather for the northwest - even the lowlands. And that means cold and
snow.
