Sunday, Dec. 9, 3:30 PM Today has been the coldest day so far this season. East wind ramped up again out of the Gorge, gusts 60-80 mph earlier this morning out there. At the same time a cold front with steady rain passed overhead. The combo means we’ve only been in the 30s all day!That cold front kills the cold east wind and we go into a milder southerly flow, so temps will actually warm a few degrees overnight.COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE: Snow and freezing rain is falling right now. I-84 is slushy with snow at Cascade Locks and there is freezing rain around Crown Point and Cape Horn, but not on roads. Close call!  Temperatures do not drop tonight in the Gorge so roads will be fine.The next week will feature a weather system passing through about every other day with showers between. Expect mild temps, no freezing, and light rain at times. There is no sign of lowland snow/ice in the next 7-10 days, that includes the Gorge.
