The wider storm

East winds ahead of an approaching low pressure system brought temperatures down below freezing across the area ahead of the approaching precipitation. This lead to a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow across the area. While areas farther north saw more of a snow/sleet mix before a changeover to freezing rain then rain, areas in Lane County saw freezing rain for most of this event, causing power outages, damage to trees, and many car accidents around Eugene and Springfield.
