Blizzard Paralyzes Eugene

Winds whipping between three and five miles per hour blinded travellers in the Eugene/Springfield area while 1/2 inch of snow fell on the metropolitan area. Lane Community College as well as the Eugene and Springfield public schools are closed. Lane Transit buses will be on snow routes.

Children are encouraged to get up early to try and find enough snow to make a snowball. Snowmen will be impossible. Sledding is out, unless the children don't mind dragging sleds along dirt.

Stay tuned for updates. City and school officials are hopeful that these conditions will ease up so that the cities' shared paralysis can be eased.
