As of 10:05 a.m. Wednesday, Portland had a grand total of 0.4 inches of new snow on the ground, but it was enough to make roads and sidewalks hazardous, and occasional light snow and flurries were expected to continue throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service in Gray. Forecasters also expected a weak cold front to sag slowly south across the area today and move through over the weekend, delivering mainly dry weather into early next week.
