A blizzard is a wind event, combined with snow (and in this case, ice), so you'll see a lot of areas swept almost clean of snow. And definitely you should not be out driving around IN a blizzard, if you can possibly avoid it. This was showing some of the aftermath. I think a 2ft + diameter tree blown over by the wind is pretty serious business. And there was WAY more than what was shown in this video.
@@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakersThe National Weather Service definition of a blizzard is a SVERE SNOWSTORM with high winds and LOW VISABILITY. That was definitely NOT a severe snow storm. Having live in Gresham, Portland, and Newberg my entire childhood through my teens I have been through the high wind events and ice storms. Come to the East Coast and experience a blizzard where several FEET of snow falls and causes total white out conditions. This was not a blizzard.
Thank you, I used to live in Portland and have seen many a storm there, but this is how I see them now.
You should have checked out the HUGE tree down on 92nd next to the park. That was crazy.
did you guys get exceptionally high winds that caused the tree damage? or was it just the snow weight plus winds that caused it?
it was the wind
I'm always amazed Portland, so far south and west, gets snow at all.
You Californians.... Los Angeles misses you....
Blizzard? LOL!
