Coldest weather in 5 years heading to Oregon
By Associated PressPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Forecasters say some of the coldest weather in the past five years is heading to Oregon for the weekend. A double blast of cold air is expected to hit Western Oregon on Friday, and again Sunday, with snow all the way down to the Willamette Valley floor on Sunday.
The first cold front is coming from the Bering Sea, bringing heavy snow to the Cascades of Washington and Oregon, as well as the Coast Range. On Sunday, a second shot of cold air now gathering strength over Hudson Bay in Northern Canada will send the thermometer into the teens in Portland and lower in surrounding areas. A series of snow, ice and sleet storms dumped snow in the Portland area in January 2004, causing problems for traffic, utilities and emergency crews. (Copyright 2008 The Associated Press.) |
