Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, February 8, 2025. Today's forecast is looking quite chilly, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing and a chance of rain turning to snow through the weekend. In fact, a winter storm watch has been issued for western Whatcom County, with heavy snow and total snow accumulations between 2 and 7 inches possible[1]. So, make sure to bundle up and stay safe on the roads. In other news, the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office has issued a statement regarding federal immigration enforcement, stating that they will not take enforcement action based on immigration-related statuses. This is a significant development for our community, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and respect for all residents. On a more cultural note, tonight is a special night for music lovers. The Mount Baker Theatre is hosting the International Guitar Night: 25th Anniversary Tour, starting at 7:30 PM. This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some world-class guitar performances right here in Bellingham[2].
