Winter Storm in Northern Oregon Cascades, Oregon

Winter Storm March 8, 2006 – March 10, 2006 · Northern Oregon Cascades, Oregon

The wider storm

A strong Pacific storm and associated cold front brought relatively late winter conditions to northwest Oregon. Snow totals from this event ranged from a tenth of an inch to a few inches at the coast and through the Willamette Valley, to anywhere between 2 to 4 feet of new snow in the Coast Range, Cascades, and Cascade Foothills. Coincidentally, this snow event was one of the latest of the year seen in the Portland area, and forced many school closures around the area.
