Sorry no winner this week. Here it the question one more time. This is the description of an Oregon disaster. “Every major highway in Oregon was closed, cutting off entire cities from emergency supplies. Fifteen people were killed and more than 11,000 were homeless. The governor activated the Civil Defense emergency radio network for the first time in Oregon history to declare the entire state a disaster area.” What was the disaster and when did it occur? Here is the answer. This was the Christmas week flood of 1964. The storms began in late November, when rain saturated the soil. Then Arctic air moved south into Oregon on December 17th, freezing the ground statewide. The next day a front from the tropics collided with the cold air, dumping snow on top of the ice. The Coast range had a foot of snow, the Cascades had three feet of snow, and even Portland got 8 inches of snow. The temperature then rose sharply on December 19th and the warm torrential rains melted the snow. The result was that half of the state’s weather station set all-time records that december. Eugene received 21 inches of rain and towns along the Rogue River measured a staggering 41 inches of rain. I’ll have another weather quiz question starting next Monday. The first person to post the correct answer will win one week of  free personalized forecasts tailored to your needs.

A stronger  upper level High Pressure ridge (the “arch” shaped portion of the yellow lines) is slowly moving away from us. We did cool off a bit in the valleys yesterday. It will still be warm and dry this weekend for the Oregon Country Fair, but that also means it will be dusty. A trough of low pressure will slide down from the Gulf of Alaska helping a cold front to drop down from the northwest Monday and cool us down a bit more.
