Troutdale is in a perfect location for major ice storms though.

Lol, do they seriously think this will stop people? There's just going to be more googly eyes noe due to the fact they gave attention to it.

I mean, there is some truth to it. If I'm feeling good and having a bunch of fun, I will post on here much less than I will if I'm bored and not doing much for a few days.

Close to it! The dates on that were November 19-20, 1921. We had a massive AR plume on the southern edge of an arctic airmass and it produced one of the all-time great PNW winter storms. Portland had 6.09" of precip in that 48 hour period, with roughly 1/2" of that being ice in downtown. But the eastern suburbs and western gorge got absolutely hammered with a much greater share of that falling as ZR. Probably up to 4" accretion in the highest spots. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/mwre/49/12/1520-0493_1921_49_661_soniow_2_0_co_2.xml Here's an old original article about the storm. Snow totals to the east through the gorge were crazy as one might guess. Hood River had 37.5" and The Dalles had a nutty 54". Walla Walla had around 20" and Lewiston picked up 16". It also really hammered the South Sound and Tacoma had about 14" (greatest November snowstorm on record there) with 7" in Seattle. Rest of that winter was great too with a regional week long arctic event leading into Christmas and then another in mid-January, plus several other clippers and backdoor airmasses.

No trees, which would be depressing imo. I'd rather he buy Canada so I can just move to somewhere nice in interior BC.
