Front Ranger Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think an honest to goodness arctic event and perhaps one more area-wide snowfall would be enough to put this winter into the category of the great ones for the Portland region. I would think PDX would need to reach at least 15" to be considered. I believe that's happened 6 times in the station's history, with several other winters coming close. So maybe a 3-5" snowfall for Portland and a true Arctic outbreak. That would put 2016-17 into top 5, for sure. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

The Portland Metro generally had 1-3" snowcover from December 14-18 and will have significant snowcover for a long stretch this month. That already puts this winter into pretty elite territory, another lasting event would seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminen Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 What's your elevation there? I got the impression that the waterfront in Vancouver got a lot less than the hills. Has that been true in most of the events this year? My elevation in North Vancouver is only 140' and we haven't fared well. But just 2 miles to my east on the same road and roughly the same elevation and it's been much snowier. I don't know why. In Burnaby the elevation is 300-500' where I usually am. Places in Burnaby with lower elevations have done just as well as the higher elevations too...e.g. 100' vs. 400'...more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
