Heavy Snow in West Columbia River Gorge I-84 Corridor, Oregon

Around 20 to 30 vehicles were involved in a series of crashes 3 miles west of Multnomah falls on I-84 1000-1200 02/13 due to snow, road ice, and low visibility. This impact verifies the warning. Based on LSRs in the region between 2-4.5 inches of snow likely fell.

Abnormally cold conditions were in place early on February 13th as widespread precipitation increased across the region south to north due to the arrival of a warm-frontal boundary. This overrunning scenario led to a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain impacting much of western Oregon through February 14th.
