Covering an area of 254,806 sq. km, the State of Oregon is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
As observed on the map, the Pacific Ocean coastline of the state is occupied by the rugged mountains (some over 1,000 ft. high), moist rainforests, and fertile valleys. In the southern part, the land rises into the Coastal Mountain Range and the Klamath Mountains. Both of these mountain ranges are a series of relatively low and heavily-forested peaks, that are in turn punctuated by numerous small lakes.
Situated directly to the east of these mountains is the Willamette Lowlands – that stretch south, about 175 miles from the Portland area. This fertile strip of land is dissected by the Willamette River which rises in the Cascades and then flows north draining into the Columbia River.
PENDLETON â One month beyond the winter solstice, Oregonâs mountain ranges are all below normal for annual snowpack averages.
A look at USDA Natural Resource Conservation District Snotel sites that track snowfall and snow water equivalent from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 each year show more detailed reports of regional precipitation and snowpack.
The Umatilla, Walla Walla and Willow river basins are currently measuring 85% of the annual snowpack average, as of Wednesday, Jan. 27.
The Emigrant Springs Snotel on Mount Emily, at an elevation of 3,800 feet, started recording the first measurable precipitation of the water year Nov. 8, 2020. As of Jan. 27, 13.6 total inches have fallen, the snow depth is currently 6 inches and the snow water equivalent is 1.3 inches, 23% of the average.
