sorry that was about Idaho? Aren’t we talking about Oregon? I am not a resident there. So I certainly don’t know how unusual is this snow coverage - just hearing what others have posted about it. Seems serious to me. The people in China have been suffering similarly. I know if I were buried in snow, I would want help to get me out and/or to get supplies and heat in. This is a time for neighbor (others in the counry) to help neighbor.
Whoops, this site is better, uses a map for those of us unfamiliar with the names.
