    Parts of Bellingham saw a burst of heavy snowfall at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday that left a dusting of white, but it cleared up by mid-morning. Previous forecasts had called for up to 2 inches of snow by morning, but above-freezing temperatures overnight meant that fell as rain instead.

    Northern winds brought drier, colder air to the area Thursday night, and the frosty temperatures were expected to last through the weekend. Friday is expected to be mostly clear and cold, with highs in the mid-30s during the day and lows dropping into the mid-20s at night. Temperatures that cold mean that any moisture on the road will turn to ice.
