<DIV>The winter of 1968 - 69 had over a foot of snow in SE Portland OR
with some drifts up to 5 ft against houses and other buildings. I
remember driving my little sports car places where people with much bigger
vehicles were afraid to even try going. It doesn't sound like we had it near as
bad as the 1949 storm though.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Wasn't it the winter of 1967 that the University of Oregon
closed it's doors for the first time in history because of deep snow? Cars
were literally buried, and were skiing around downtown Eugene. I have a
picture of me knee deep in snow.

place 1992 it snowed 8 inches and then it froze it was there for more than
week and all the little pickups that didn't have 4 wheel drive were in the
ditch on Fishback Hill. A year or two before we were in Jacksonville
and the temp was 10 below That was cold and roads were covered with ice
from the rain. No snow to make it easy driving on them. BRRRRrrrr
almost as bad as living in Wyoming in 1950. <FONT face=Arial><FONT
