The snow we got earlier is long gone, but I just found this article on one of our local channels :
More snowflakes expected to fallÂ
 Here are some more statistics – the last time we had snow on Christmas Eve was back in 1998 and the snowflakes we saw this year on Christmas Day is only the sixth time since 1940 that it has happened. In fact, the chance of a white Christmas for downtown Portland is just 1 percent.
So for our 1st Christmas here we were lucky enough to get snow! I’ll take that as a good sign………..because when we moved to Florida, we got hit with 4 hurricanes in 2 months…….with 2 of them hitting us directly within 3 weeks…….not a good sign. =)
