The first photo comes to us a while ago from Wilsonville, proof that it was snowing outside an office complex there at 9:30 a.m. this morning.
The second is shot from a back porch in McMinnville. The third is from our photojournalist in Salem, who is on another story but stopped to shoot a photo of the snow for KATU.com visitors.
Meanwhile, KATU Reporter Joe English is in the Gorge today - tracking snow levels there. You'll find his coverage on KATU News starting at 4 p.m.
- Watch the weather radar's blue blips for snow (hit "Loop," lower right, to see the progress)
