La PORTE — Snow returned to the area Wednesday after a long absence, and while the totals could hardly be called impressive, forecasters say it signals the start of more seasonal conditions – including snow and cold – starting Thursday.
Prior to Wednesday, La Porte County’s winter had featured plenty of cloudy conditions, but minimal snowfall and temps well above average since a cold blast around Christmas.
