Oregon does not have the coldest WINTER weather unless you;re talking about eastern Oregon, but summer is super cold. While winters are colder in somewhere like North Dakota, Portland summers average about 58 degrees. It is cold because the mountains keep clouds in, and the wind from the super cold Pacific Ocean.

The oregon winter aren't the cold problem, it's the summer. the winter will stay above 20 degrees in the Portland area, but the summer will average 58 degrees. In eastern Oregon, it has gotten to -60 degrees, thats one of the coldest temps ever in the US. idk why eastern is like that.

Oregon has many different climates and temperature range from hot to cold:

The Coast on the extreme west is usually cool and wet during the winter months, with nice warm and dry days in the summer.

The Willamette Valley has moderate temperature year round, usually cool and wet during the winter and usually dry and warm in the summer.

The Eastern part of the state, east of the Cascade Mountains tends to be dryer year round, but cold (but a dry cold) in the winter and hot (nice and dry heat) in the summer.

The mountain areas are high and get a fair amount of snow in the winter months.

There is a climate and temperature to suit just about everyone's tastes.
