Original post: The Treasure Valley is waking up to snow Friday morning. Forecasters say most of the region received one to two inches of new snow.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Boise area through Saturday afternoon. Bill Wojcik is with the National Weather Service office in Boise. He says any snow that comes through the region today should be light.
"We'll probably continue to see these snow showers at times through the day," he says. "We're not expecting a lot of snow - maybe up to an inch. The bigger snow event will come through tonight."
Wojcik says the Treasure Valley could see another one to three inches Friday night and early Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 30s Saturday and Sunday.
The weather in southwestern Idaho has led some schools to change their schedules today. Boise and Meridian have canceled classes. The Emmett, Fruitland and Payette school districts have also announced their schools are closed.
While residents of the Boise area deal with several inches, some mountain areas could measure their totals in feet. Forecasters say one to two feet could fall in the Owyhee Mountains. In the Wood River Valley, there's a winter storm warning in effect through Sunday afternoon. Ketchum could see a foot and a half of new snow. In Twin Falls, there's also a winter storm warning in effect through Saturday afternoon. The National Weather Service says Twin Falls could get up to eight inches of snow, with higher totals to the south.
