Expect a green Christmas

RITZVILLE — Area residents can expect a “green” Christmas on Wednesday as temperatures hover near those often found in early spring.

According to National Weather Service Meteorologist Steven VanHorn, only mountainous areas are expected to snow this Christmas..

“We did get some snow across a lot of the Inland Northwest, mostly north of I-90 and in the basin,” VanHorn said last week. “We got snow from [Highway] 195 down to Pullman. Accumulations were light overall. We had about 2 inches in Airway Heights and around 2 inches in Creston. In general, 1 to 2 inches is what we got.”

But little or no...
