Excerpt from The Oregonian's Handbook of the Pacific NorthwestThe Pacific Northwest extends from the semi-tropical valleys of Southern Ore gon to the ice fields of the Arctic ocean. The climate of all this region, with but few exceptions, is a balmy one. All that portion of this section bordering on the coast for miles or more north of Portland enjoys the climate of Virginia, with almost an entire absence of snow in winter and without extremes of heat during the sum mer months. Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, Idaho and Western Montana experience colder winters than does the section of the Northwest west of the Cas cade Mountains, but in no part of the Pacific Northwest, with the exception of the interior of Alaska and the mountainous regions of British Columbia, are the cold spells of winter as protracted, or is the cold as intense, as is noted in the winters of the Eastern states.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
