Schools in Jewell and Knappa closed and Astoria opened two hours late this morning due to snowy weather. Tonight’s Southwest Christian at Jewell girls basketball game has been postponed. The Knappa School Board has also canceled its meeting tonight. The National Weather Service forecast light snow mixed with rain for much of the day, with temperatures in the 30s.

Mount Bachelor received an inch of new snow in the past 24 hours, allowing staff to expand lift and terrain openings on the mountain. “It really has inspired ski season once again,” said Drew Jackson, director of marketing and communications at Mount Bachelor. “Folks were a little down on the conditions before this weekend but now with the improved conditions, folks are much happier.” Amanda Peacher contrib- uted to this report. A winter weather warning is in effect for the Portland metro area today, and the National Weather Service is advising people to stay home if possible. About 3 to 8 inches of snow is expected in Portland, falling in line with much of the rest of the state where snowfall con- tinues to remind Oregonians that winter is not over. “It’ll actually be a pretty snowy day across most of western Oregon,” said Mat- thew Cullen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Ser- vice in Portland. “This first bit of snow is expected to be on the light side, and so far it has DUII • At 7:25 p.m. Saturday, Catherine Bronchetti, 63, of Wenatchee, Washington, was ALMANAC been. The next round of snow is the more steady and heavier snow; that’s still on track to move in later this afternoon.” TriMet, the city’s transit agency, says it’s closely moni- toring road conditions. Fifteen of its buses running in higher elevations are utilizing drop- down chains, slowing buses down to 25 mph. Statewide, it’s unlikely the snowfall will bring the below-normal snowpack back to normal levels this late in the season, though any snow is welcome news for farmers and the environment. Across the region, the snowpack has hovered at just 50 percent of normal. “We’ll see improvement on that over the next 2-3 weeks,” said Joe Solomon with the By ERICKA CRUZ GUEVARRA Oregon Public Broadcasting W pc pc r c i r pc sn pc t i s s pc s pc pc pc r pc t c s sf pc Hi 78 70 34 31 30 45 62 26 83 38 31 52 60 59 85 71 83 72 32 73 33 38 57 40 76 Wed.
