PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Snow has followed high winds into western Oregon.
The Oregon Department of Transportation reports as much as 8 inches of snow along the coast in Lincoln County Tuesday morning brought down trees that closed Highway 101, Highway 20 and Highway 34 in places.
A number of school districts in western Oregon are closed or delayed or have buses on snow routes.
The winds and falling trees Monday knocked out power for about 50,000 utility customers.
