When was the coldest temperature ever recorded in Oregon?

Answer 1

Based on this page http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?oreugn it looks like 6.5 inches fell on January 21st 1943. Followed by 5.5 inches the next day. Ok not even close! January 25 to 31, 1969 Between the 25th and 30th, snowfall records throughout Lane, Douglas, and Coos counties, were surpassed by incredible numbers. Snowfalls of 2 to 3 feet fell on the valley floors, with much heavier amounts in the higher terrain. At Eugene, a snowdepth of 34 inches was recorded on the 30th, and the total January snowfall was 47 inches, nearly 7 times the normal monthly snowfall! In1990 there was about one foot of snow, 1989 there was over a foot of snowfall.

Twelve degrees below zero, on the Fahrenheit scale, as best I can determine. Data is from 1939 to 2005. Here's a link to the text file. I can understand why you asked this question, it was surprisingly difficult to find. In fact, I ran into your question before I found the data. Cheers!
