| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm dumped from 4 inches to 19 inches of snow over central, north central, and northeast Oregon. The snowfall caused area schools to close for up to three days or open late. About 8000 customers in Bend lost power Saturday night (January 10) for over an hour when a car slid out of control and struck a guy wire on a utility pole. There were a few serious accidents with four injuries reported in central Oregon. Two people were injured in a traffic accident in north central Oregon. There were also problems transporting goods and medical products into central Oregon becouse of road and airport closures outside the area. At least 10 traffic accidents, some with minor injuries, were caused by snow covered roads in Umatilla county. |
