Sorry, no winner this week. Here is this week’s weather quiz question for the last time. Let’s make this one local that relates to our current weather pattern. What is the greatest snow depth ever officially reported for Eugene? A pat on the back if you know the year in which it occurred. The correct answer is 34 inches from january 27th to the 28th in 1969. The total for the month of January was 47.1 inches of snow which set not only the monthly record for January, but the all-time record for any month. I’ll have another weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. The first person to post the correct answer will win one week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.
