We were living in John Day then. I remember two car loads of us headed back from work session in Corvallis. we were in first car, chained up, virtually one lane over Santiam snow was so deep. Santiam was closed soon after we passed through. Our partners did not get home that day However not sure that was '69. I remember '50 too, but that was more a cold snap if i recall right. 8 degrees in Toledo, whcih is real cold for coast, but not sure that was '50 but close give or take a year. i was in junior high Curious why year is important.
