Marilyn Lohman, meteorologist with the National Weather Service said the area enjoyed a fair amount of rain and snow to start winter back in December and in early January, but then the weather pattern sh

It’s still too early to know if you’ll enjoy a White Christmas this year, but it looks like Mother Nature is setting the table for an active Christmas at the very least. Marilyn Lohmann with the National Weather Service says over the next couple of weeks, she expected systems to roll across the Pacific Northwest every 24-36 hours. “At thi ...
