Did you think winter was over? Not so fast.
Portland got itself a dusting of snow this weekend—anywhere from half an inch to four inches fell across the city. It marks the first significant snowfall in Portland since Christmas Eve.
That's a relief, seeing as the city was crippled for much of January 2017 by huge snowstorms and a bitter freeze. Still, this weekend's light frosting made for some nice pictures (see below).
The flurries come four days after an unprecedented snowfall at the Portland Airport. The National Weather Service of Portland says it was only the seventh time in 75 years that PDX saw snow on Valentine's Day.
Today was the 7th time in the past ~75 years it has snowed at the PDX Airport on Valentine's Day. The snowiest Feb 14th was in 1959 when 2" fell. #pdxtst #orwx

The snow might not stick around long. According to the NWS, sunny (albeit cold) weather is expected this afternoon.
Some warming expected today with clearing clouds and mostly sunny skies by afternoon. However, a VERY COLD night in store with temperatures dropping well into the 20s by sunrise Tuesday. #pdxtst #orwx #wawx pic.twitter.com/bYX8lSllmL
