Portland snow sets record
Sunday, December 28, 2008 | No comments posted.
PORTLAND (AP) — The National Weather Service says the winter wallop that dealt the Portland area nearly 19 inches of snow in the last two weeks has by one measurement made December the snowiest month since January 1950.
Based on the snowfall at Portland International Airport, meteorologist Charles Dalton said, the winter weather also gave the city its snowiest Christmas at least since 1940, when the agency began recording precipitation levels there.
The January 1950 total at the airport was 22 inches of snow.
