Dave Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Population is ~135,000, with an elevation averaging 430ft. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene,_OregonNot to nitpick, but your link says 160k, not 135k. The metro area is over 250k. That being said, we're obviously not a major city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sounds like a muscle tone issue. You should go back east and help shovel snow. Great workout...Kind of wish I could. My grandpa could probably use the help. He lives in southeast PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 So what's your point? Still it is the second largest city in Oregon.I don't think comparing Eugene, OR at 430ft, to cities like Baltimore/New York, which sit at sea level (and are heavily urbanized) makes sense, if you're looking for compare regional snowfalls. Actually, New York/LGA sits much closer to the ocean than Portland/PDX. Eugene, OR is roughly analogous to a slew of suburban cities around here, though, which could be used for a more appropriate comparison. That was my point.

Phil Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 70 hours of snowfall. Imagine how deep the snow would have been out east, if the snow would have persisted another 36 hours.I think 2009-10 and 2014-15 answered that question already. The answer is: major headaches. In 2010, from January 29th to February 10th, several lowland cities in MD (including Elkridge and Manchester) observed between 6-7 feet of snow. Basically had nowhere to put the snow so farmers were paid to allow snow storage on portions of their land. In 2015, areas in coastal New England observed over 90" of snow in 20 days. Same scenario, essentially.

Totally different topography with close proximity to mountains. Apples and Oranges.At that point, though, you're tossing away the factors that define climate. All I'm doing is accounting for elevation and population/urbanization. These are controllable variables. For example, you can try to imagine how your climate would behave without the Cascades present, but it's pure imagination.

Dave Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Based on the 18z, I might be able to scrape off enough snow off my car to make a single snowball.

There are probably lots of non-native plants you can buy at Costco that bloom in late January every year if it isn't snowing. We live in a mild winter climate for our latitude.

TT-SEA Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 55 at SEA and PDX today... very nice day. These types of days in the winter make the rainy periods easier to get through. In the fall we talk about signs of fall and changing leaves... and in the spring we talk about flowering stuff. Part of being fascinated with weather also includes all the other changes in nature... at least for me.

TT-SEA Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 We have many hellebores blooming and they are native.Not fair to talk about all the signs of fall including awesome displays from non-native trees but then whine about signs of spring. I enjoy all of it. There is lots of talk on here in the fall about how the weather will effect the fall colors. And when its cool there are always posts about how it will really bring out the fall color... and then I post lots of pictures of that as well.
