Communities tucked into the mountains with rivers nearby and 5-10 feet of snow remains piled up are most vunerable.

Yes, it’s a somewhat boring pattern, we’re back in limboland as we watch the advance of a trough which should sweep in later Saturday into Sunday kicking the high south and east. READ MORE…
