A snowstorm hit mainly in the morning hours in Portland on Thursday, with freezing rain and more snow expected overnight. Temperatures dropped again in the evening Thursday, so any snow that melted was expected to quickly refreeze.

According to David Bishop, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Portland, after a lull in the precipitation Thursday afternoon, freezing rain is now expected to start Thursday between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. That precipitation should start as freezing rain and transition to snow between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. or so, he said.

Update: Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Rhonda Shelby says a back edge to the first band of precipitation is just about to move through the metro area.1
