|Snow began falling around January 9. Snow and wind closed all the highways west of the Cascades and in the Gorge. An ice storm followed on the 18th, downing trees and power lines and covering roads. 15.5 inches of snow fell on January 21. Portland saw 32.9 inches of snow fall that month total. The storm also led to a state of emergency being declared by the governor and mayor. This storm holds the record for highest snowfall in Portland in a month.

|Sometimes called the Portland "World's Fair". 1.8 million visitors arrived in Portland over four months. The emergency management nexus here is not just the crowd, but that the City filled [[wikipedia:Guild's_Lake|Guild's Lake]] in NW Portland shortly after the Expo (the Expo took place on an island in Guild's Lake). As a result, Portland's largest industrial neighborhood is built on fill.
