Several inches of snow fall over wide area
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – A long-delayed blast of winter hit Bend and other parts of the High Desert on Friday, with several inches of snow leading to numerous crashes, rollovers and slide-offs, closing major highways at times.
“I’m very used to snow driving, I’ve got good tires and this is probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen, Bend resident Ashley Adams said.
The National Weather Service let a winter weather advisory expire at 6 p.m., after a few to several inches fell over a wide area of the region, making good forecasters warning of slick roads and difficult travel.
