WinterWeather

October 10, 2026. Sandpoint wakes to 41 degrees and a sky that can't quite decide, with the National Weather Service giving us a 20 percent chance of showers after 11 a.m. and a mostly sunny afternoon high near 54. The KOTX radar is showing real shower activity this morning, with echo cells over the Colville highlands to the west and near the Canadian border to the north. Tonight is the interesting part: the snow level drops to 2,400 feet after midnight while temperatures fall to around 33, so the first dusting of white on Schweitzer's 6,400-foot summit is very much in play.

Well folks, I won’t sugarcoat it—it’s wet up here 🌧️. Temps ran high, the dreaded rain showed up, and it’s been blustery 💨. The national forecast for the week isn’t looking much better ☹️.

But we’re not discouraged! 🙌 Fingers, toes, legs, and eyes are crossed for colder temps and more wintry weather ❄️. So keep sending good vibes, prayers for snow, and maybe a little mountain magic. Here’s to manifesting East Coast weather (never thought we’d say that)! 🌨️✨
