What the National Weather Service wrote

There were two reports of heavy snow in Parkdale. One from the Hood River County Emergency Manager who reported 14 inches of snow, and the other from the Oregon Department of Transportation who reported 10 inches.

The wider storm

A preceding cold arctic air mass combined with a moist Pacific storm resulted in widespread heavy snow for Northwest Oregon including the coast and the Willamette Valley. Warmer air quickly moved in from the south mid-morning and the snow changed to freezing rain. East winds through the Columbia River Gorge maintained colder air to the north where the precipitation fell mainly as snow.
