It’s time for my weekly weather quiz question. Let’s make this one local. What is the coldest temperature ever recorded for Eugene? Your answer should also contain the date on which it occurred. Please post your answer as a comment after the forecasts on this page. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.

A trough of low pressure (See “U” shape offshore) is moving Eastward away from us, but another will follow close behind it so don’t look for any dramatic changes in our weather patterns. A cold front will be moving through Friday, then a little warming next weekend.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
