I remember the storm of December 2008. How did it compare with other snow storms in Portland?
The so-called Arctic Blast of December 2008 dropped 19 inches of snow on Portland. It was the snowiest December on record (since 1940 when records started being kept). In comparison, the whole winter season of 2008-09 dropped 23.9 inches of snow, the winter of 1968-69 dropped 34 inches, and the winter of 1949-50 dropped 44.5 inches. Portland’s average annual snowfall is 4.5 inches per year.
