| episode_narrative | A strong and cold Pacific system brought copious amounts of new snow accumulations to the higher elevations of northwest Oregon. This system dropped snow levels considerably, leading to the first snow accumulation of the year in areas within the Columbia River Gorge and the Upper Hood River Valley. |
| event_narrative | Over the course of about 18 hours, multiple avalanches occurred in the same area, over the Santiam Pass, near the intersection of Hwy. 20 and Hwy. 126. The avalanches were contributed to higher than average snow pack, and large amounts of plowed snow along the highways. The first set of avalanches occurred the morning of January 8th, the largest burying parts of US Hwy. 20 up to 15 feet deep. Three cars were trapped by the avalanche then later freed, with no injuries. The second round of avalanches occurred late at night on January 8th and wasn't cleared until the following morning. Eight commercial vehicles were trapped for a time under the snow, with no injuries reported. Both rounds closed the highways for an extended period of time for snow removal. |
