PORTLAND, Ore. \u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s been snowing in Portland Oregon, and when we have the white stuff on the ground we can also expect the usual effects of snow<\/a><\/span> like road closures, but how much snow actually fell?<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to a recent article from oregonlive.com we know that the Portland area received between a half inch, to four inches of snow, so although most reports over the last few days have labeled the storm as \u201cmassive\u201d, the reality is that it was much more manageable than anyone thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Survive a Snow Storm in Portland<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

If you\u2019re new in Portland or haven\u2019t lived through snow conditions in a while, here are several tips you should use for surviving a snow<\/a><\/span> storm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #1 \u2013 Pack chains in your vehicle, or drive with all season tires so you have plenty of traction on the roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #2 \u2013 Purchase a windshield scraper for your vehicle; this will help you to scrape ice from your windshield in the mornings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #3 \u2013 Give yourself plenty of time before going anywhere in Portland when there\u2019s snow on the road and you should also check local roads online to look for road closures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #4 \u2013 Change your wiper blades! This is one of the most important things you can do since it will help you to see clearly while driving in Portland and stop the snow from turning into a slushy mess on your windshield.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #5 \u2013 Pack a snow \u201cgo bag\u201d in your vehicle that includes a warm blanket, jacket, and some food or drinks just in case you get stranded and have to wait for emergency help to arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are More Snow Storms on The Way?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Winter doesn\u2019t officially begin until next week so it\u2019s safe to say that we can expect more snow<\/a><\/span> storms to hit Portland in the coming weeks so it\u2019s best to be prepared and ready to drive safely when the next snow storms hit.<\/span>
