Heavy Snow January 27, 2008 – January 28, 2008 · Southern Willamette Valley, Oregon

What the National Weather Service wrote

Between 4 and 10 inches total accumulated snowfall was reported by spotters in Lebanon, Lacomb, Eugene, and Springfield.

The wider storm

Another strong Pacific system brought more snow to the already snow-laden Oregon Cascades and Cascade Foothills. This storm was particularly strong and very cold, resulting in low elevation snow as well. Snow accumulations were reported in the Columbia River Gorge, the Upper Hood River Valley, as well as the southern Willamette Valley. Multiple school closures occurred and were contributed to hazardous road conditions after snowfall blanketed many roads.
