I was slightly bored and browsing through old newspaper articles and a lot of them have some really interesting information. For example this one from Feb 3rd 1950: January 1950.pdf Some interesting reports: - Unofficial temperature of -7 in Beaverton but "was against the side of the house and may not have been as low as the true temperature" - Unofficial temperature of -10 in Aloha - The east side of the tunnel into Portland was blocked - Drifts 4ft to 5ft in Cedar Mill

It's really lucky for me that the only two winters that the COOP station very near me were 1967-68 (11.6") and 1968-69 (39"), looks like the December 1968 storm brought sustained winds over 30mph for over 3 hours and drifts up to 2 ft according to the remarks. SeaTac seems to have done much better with 67.5" but Seattle City had around 36.2" in the winter of 1968-69 because of the elevation difference so I'm not sure how good that winter was in general around the Sound maybe away from the water. I think SW OR saw some pretty crazy snowfall totals though.
