Spring-like weather will be swapped out for cold rain and heaps of snow in the Oregon mountains next week.

We asked a weather expert if we can expect the fluffy, white snow that actually accumulates.

New Year’s weekend is expected to bring pretty boring weather to Oregon with the exception of possible light snow in the mountains.

A judge found there was “a fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment.”

It’s been 182 days since Portland last had a 70-degree day.

The snow will be a welcome sight, as the snowpack in Oregon has declined below normal levels in the northwest part of the state.

A cold front will bring snow and freezing rain to the Willamette Valley, and residents traveling for Christmas weekend should brace for impact.

Forecasters say an artic front is expected to touch down Wednesday night and cause trouble when precipitation falls Thursday afternoon.

Heavy wind and rain have started to taper off in the Portland metro area Wednesday morning, but they’ve already caused widespread power outages and traffic issues.

It's been 60 years since the storm of all storms swept through the Pacific Northwest on Oct. 12, 1962, with hurricane-force wind speeds.
