Thanks for hunkering down this weekend, Portland! Our crews continue to treat roads and respond to many down trees throughout the city. We have 13 active road closures due to down trees and power lines: portland.gov/transportation/…
Current radar shows a band of freezing rain, sleet, & snow lifting northward over the area. The winter storm is still on track with mainly snow/sleet for the Portland metro, mainly snow north of Vancouver, a mix of everything in Salem, & mainly freezing rain in Eugene. Stay safe!

We had our first real taste of winter weather last night. Now is the time to get ready for the second round headed our way as early as Friday. Get prepared to hunker down this weekend. Head to the grocery store, check on your vulnerable neighbors, and dust off your snow shovels!
Colder later Friday, with temperatures staying below freezing through Sunday for many areas. And, even a chance of snow for most areas, even the coast. Becoming very winds in/near Columbia River Gorge later Friday. #wxwa #orwx
