OF EXPERTS WE SHOULD START WITH
OUR NUMBER ONE CHIEF
METEROLOGIST MATT ZAFFINO IN
THE WEATHER CENTER MATT, SIR,
WHAT CAN WHAT'S HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW AND WHAT CAN WE
EXPECT >>?
EXPECT >>? I THINK THAT I LIKE TURTLES
KISO IS TWENTY TWO BY NOW >>
BUT I REALLY WISH YOU'D GONE TO
THE UNIPIPER BEFORE ME.
I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY AND SEE HIM RIDING OUT ON
ONE WHEEL AND THE LITTLE BIT
OF SNOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SO
FAR AND IT HAS BEEN VERY VERY
LIGHT.
LIGHT.
LIGHT. SO
LIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. IT IS STILL LIGHT SNOW.
THE TEMPERATURE CONTINUES TO
DROP AND WHILE IT'S THIRTY TWO
AT THE AIRPORT WE'RE IN THE
TWENTIES NOW DOWNTOWN AS IS
BEAVERTON KING CITY.
TWENTY SEVEN OUT AND BORING
CONTINUES TO GET COLDER.
IT'LL BE WINDY OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. WELL DOWN TO TWENTY EVEN TEENS
OUT IN THE HOOD RIVER VALLEY
AND THAT'S WHERE OUR AIR IS
COMING FROM.
COMING FROM. THE QUESTION IS WHERE IS THE
SNOW?
SNOW?
SNOW? RIGHT .
RIGHT .
RIGHT . SO WE'VE GOT THIS BAND
OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL.
IT'S JUST BEGINNING TO THE
SOUTHERN END OF THE PORTLAND
AREA RIGHT NOW RIGHT THERE INTO
HERE THROUGH CAMBIE AND THEN
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. SO
HERE. SO I EXPECT THE SNOWFALL TO
INCREASE AND ITS INTENSITY
WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO
AND WITH THAT BAND OF SNOW, I
EXPECT US TO PICK UP ABOUT AN
INCH OR TWO FROM IT.
BUT I'VE DOWNGRADED THE AMOUNTS
THAT I THINK WE WILL GET FROM
THIS FIRST STORM TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW MORNING BECAUSE IT
JUST HASN'T REALLY MATERIALIZED
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE
CENTER OF THE STORM IS HEADED A
LITTLE BIT FARTHER SOUTH BUT WE
ARE GETTING SOME HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION JUST TO
OURSELVES.
OURSELVES. SO I EXPECT THE SNOWFALL RATES
TO PICK UP IN THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO.
SO.
SO. SO
SO. SO WE'LL GO FOR SNOW.
SO THEN LIGHT SNOW AND ACTUALLY
TAPERS OFF LATER TONIGHT.
TOMORROW MORNING IT SHOULD BE
DOING NOTHING JUST CLOUDY, COLD
AND WINDY.
AND WINDY. WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH
FREEZING RAIN THOUGH IN PARTS
OF THE VALLEY.
THE UNIPIPER HATES THAT HE
DOESN'T WANT TO BE SLIDING
AROUND ON ONE WHEEL ON ICE.
RIGHT .
RIGHT .
RIGHT . AND WHO DOES TENTH OF AN INCH
TO MAYBE TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH
OF ICE SOUTH AND WEST
OF DOWNTOWN TOWARDS MCMINNVILLE
CAN BE AND THEN YOU GET FARTHER
OUT TOWARDS CORVALLIS IT'S
ABOVE FREEZING AND THERE'S NO
ICE AT ALL DOWN THERE.
SO THERE'S THIS BIG SPREAD
OF PRECIPITATION TYPES AROUND
TOWN.
TOWN.
TOWN. BUT
TOWN. BUT AGAIN FOR PORTLAND NORTH
AND EAST OF DOWNTOWN, WE'LL GO
FOR ONE TO TWO INCHES OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT BEFORE IT BEGINS TO
COME DOWN INTO THE MORNING
HOURS TOMORROW.
HOURS TOMORROW. THE GORGE WON'T COME DOWN.
THOSE WINDS HAVE ALREADY GUSTED
OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR.
WE'LL GET SEVERAL INCHES
OF SNOW THERE, VISIBILITY DOWN
TO A QUARTER OF A MILE.
SO THAT'S WHERE IT WILL BE THE
WORSE AS USUAL.
BUT WE'RE NOT DONE BECAUSE WE
GET ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW
AND THIS SHOULD BE HEAVIER SNOW
COMING IN TOMORROW NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING WITH THIS COLD
AIR ALREADY IN PLACE BEFORE
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. IT'S MAINLY LIGHT SNOW TO PICK
UP A LITTLE BIT AND THE NEXT
COUPLE OF >> HOURS DAN SHOUTOUT
GOOD.
GOOD.
GOOD. MATT, THANK FOR THE LATEST.
NOW FOR >> THOSE OF YOU OUT
THERE WHO ARE NEW TO THE AREA,

BUT IF YOU'VE LIVED HERE FOR A
WHILE YOU'RE THINKING DUDE >>
THEN I DON'T NEED ANY OF THAT.
I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE
SNOW HERE IN PORTLAND >>.
WELL, LET'S TEST YOUR
KNOWLEDGE, OK WITH THE PORTLAND
SNOW QUIZ >> SHOW.
FIRST QUESTION WHAT DO YOU DO
IF YOU'RE DRIVING AND IT STARTS
TO SNOW REALLY HARD A ABANDON
YOUR CAR B DRIVE SLOWLY
AND DON'T BREAK SUDDENLY OR C
DRIVE LIKE A MANIAC AND SLIP
ALL OVER THE ICE.
HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WAS EASY FOR
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. IT
YOU. IT IS B DRIVE SLOWLY.
DON'T BREAK SUDDENLY.
ALL RIGHT .
AND I MUST STRESS THIS DO NOT
ABANDON YOUR CAR.
PEOPLE DO NOT DO THAT JUST TO
FILL IN THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
THE ONE TWELVE THAT ACTUALLY
HAPPENED A FEW YEARS AGO.
A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ABANDON A CAR
STUCK IN THE SNOW.
IT WAS NOT A GOOD THING ODOT
WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH YOU IF
YOU DO THAT.
ALL RIGHT .
ONTO THE NEXT QUESTION WHAT DO
YOU DO WHEN IT'S TIME TO STOCK
UP ON FOOD A RESPONSIVELY GO
BUY FOOD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS
BE BUY ALL THE KALE THAT YOU
CAN FIND OR SEE.
WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE THEN
DISCOVER THERE'S NOTHING BUT
RANCHED LEFT AT THE GROCERY
STORE.

RESPONSIVELY >> BUY FOOD FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
ALL RIGHT .

TOILET PAPER FOR THAT MATTER OR
WINE BRIAN NOW YOU >> MIGHT
HAVE SEEN THIS POST ON MY
FACEBOOK PAGE I ASKED WHAT YOU
THOUGHT WAS THE MOST CLICHéD
CRINGE RIDICULOUS FUNNY THING
THAT THE LOCAL NEWS DOES WHEN
THEY'RE COVERING CRAZY WEATHER
AND >> YOU DELIVER LIKE TWO
HUNDRED COMMENTS ON MY FACEBOOK
PAGE AKG PAGE SHARED IT HAS
LIKE FIVE HUNDRED COMMENTS
AND I WANT TO READ SOME OF MY
FAVORITES RIGHT .
DENISE SAYS THIS HAVING THEIR
REPORTER STAND AT THE TOP
OF SYLVAN HILL OVERPASS
AND KICK A SMALL PATCH OF SNOW
FLAKES OR SENDING THEM TO
TROUTDALE TO FREEZE TO DEATH.
HOW DO THEY PICK WHO GOES OUT
THERE?
THERE?
THERE? YEAH, IT IS IT'S A TOUGH GIG
WHEN YOUR SHIFT'S OVER YOU FEEL
LIKE JACK NICHOLSON AT THE END
OF THE SHINING.
SOMETIMES IT IS THE YOUNG
REPORTERS GET SENT OUT TO DO
THAT AND GET SENT OUT OUT
OF THOSE TOUGH SPOTS BUT
SOMETIMES IT IS JUST IT'S THE
REPORTERS WHO ARE REALLY GOOD
AT THAT SORT OF THING, REALLY
ENTERTAINING IN THOSE LIVE
SHOTS AND AND DO THE STORIES
REALLY WELL BECAUSE THAT IS NOT
WORK AND SOME PEOPLE ARE
FRANKLY BETTER THAN OTHERS AT
IT.
IT.
IT. ALL
IT. ALL RIGHT , >> CINDY SAYS THIS
TAKING OUT A RULER
AND MEASURING THE SNOW THAT'S
AN EIGHTH OF AN INCH DEEP.
WELL, TO COUNTER THAT, CINDY,
HOW EXACTLY DID YOU KNOW >> THE
SNOW WAS AN EIGHTH OF AN INCH
>> DEEP?
>> DEEP?

NONSTOP COVERAGE IS JUST PLAIN
