The National Weather Service in Spokane has
issued a winter weather advisory for snow, in
effect from 4 p.m. today to 6 a.m. Friday.
Bonners Ferry and Eastport are likely to be
hardest hit, with two to five inches of valley
snow falling by late this afternoon and through
this evening while turning to freezing rain over
Bonners Ferry and shifting to rain south over
Sandpoint, with area-wide temperatures hovering
right around the freezing point.
Higher elevations could see up to 10 inches of
snow.
Extremely slick road conditions are anticipated
throughout Bonner and Boundary Counties, and
where precipitation falls as freezing rain,
problems could arise from snapping power lines
and tree branches, increasing the risk of power
outages.
Motorists are advised to get to their
destinations early or wait until morning; those
who have to drive this evening and overnight
should exercise extreme caution and be aware of
areas prone to black ice. |
