in Pendleton. “The next 3-4
weeks will be critical for the
amount of snowpack we get in
the mountains.”
It’s also welcome news for
Oregon ski resorts seeking a
much-needed boost. Mount
Bachelor received an inch of
new snow in the past 24 hours,
allowing staff to expand lift
and terrain openings on the
mountain.
“It really has inspired ski
season once again,” said Drew
Jackson, director of marketing
and communications at Mount
Bachelor. “Folks were a little
down on the conditions before
this weekend but now with the
improved conditions, folks are
much happier.”
Amanda Peacher contrib-
uted to this report.
A winter weather warning is
in effect for the Portland metro
area today, and the National
Weather Service is advising
people to stay home if possible.
About 3 to 8 inches of snow
is expected in Portland, falling
in line with much of the rest of
the state where snowfall con-
tinues to remind Oregonians
that winter is not over.
“It’ll actually be a pretty
snowy day across most of
western Oregon,” said Mat-
thew Cullen, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Ser-
vice in Portland. “This first bit
of snow is expected to be on
the light side, and so far it has

been. The next round of snow
is the more steady and heavier
snow; that’s still on track to
move in later this afternoon.”
TriMet, the city’s transit
agency, says it’s closely moni-
toring road conditions. Fifteen
of its buses running in higher
elevations are utilizing drop-
down chains, slowing buses
down to 25 mph.
Statewide, it’s unlikely
the snowfall will bring the
below-normal snowpack back
to normal levels this late in
the season, though any snow
is welcome news for farmers
and the environment. Across
the region, the snowpack has
hovered at just 50 percent of
normal.
“We’ll see improvement on
that over the next 2-3 weeks,”
