When was the big snow that dumped +3 feet of snow on the Willamette Valley in the late 1960s? I was thinking it was in January of 1968. Or was it 1969? I've been Googling for it for the last hour and can't come up with it. Thanks, Carole

Our neighbors trailer floated off its blocks and ours just barely got wet on the underside of the floor as we were a bit higher than them. Then in about 1970 I think it was we got another good snow and a bad silver thaw but that date is just a guess. The 64 one was our first year in Portland so I have something that keeps me straight on that year. We moved right after that to Beaverton, enough is enough my mother said. Then I met pop and we were married Dec. of 1965. Janice Janice M. Healy Co-compiler of "Oregon Burial Site Guide" Aloha, Oregon U.S.A.
