It was the Ducks vs. the Beavers in what we might call the ‘snow bowl’ of Feburary 2014.
And this time, it looks like the Beavers win! (I think I’m hearing a ‘boo’ of a ‘yay’ depending on your feelings…) Eugene measured 9.5″ of snow from back to back storms and Corvallis measured an amazing 18″ of snow. Wow.
Both the Ducks and the Beavers beat the home of Portland State. The official Portland snow total was 4.9″ from February 7 & 8 2014. That makes this Portland’s snowiest February in 21 years! Here are some more totals.
But the real question is…who had the most fun with these snowstorms? Not commuters. But there are some options:
Was it Cali–who clearly had her face in the snow?
Could it be Portland’s famous Belmont goats? And their friend, the chicken?
Or was it the guys who brought the foosball table outdoors for a snowy battle on a sidewalk in Portland’s Pearl District?
We may never know the answer. Especially since the dog, chicken and goats aren’t talking to brucesussman.com.
But hopefully you had fun during our February storms of 2014!
Last sunday you stated as part of your forcast you stated that you could drive from PDX to Newport, Or in “two” hours. I would like to know how this is possible? What roads do you take and do you excede the speed limit? Thank you, Roy Gronquist
Yeah, Roy…I guess it’s more like 2:30. I do find it’s faster to drive to Salem and head west from there. Thanks for catching my ‘under-estimation’!
