PORTLAND, Ore. - Despite clear skies and roads free of ice and snow in the Portland area, the current cold snap can pose a problem for those having a tough time keeping the heat on.
KATU Meteorologist Dave Salesky said he does not expect the temperature to get above freezing on Monday and colder temperatures are on the way for Tuesday.
Several chimney and flue fires have hit homes in the Portland area in the last few days as people use fireplaces and wood stoves to keep warm.
Others are keeping thermostats turned down in fear of the bill they may get for heating oil or natural gas.
Portland General Electric (PGE) has several ways customers can get assistance paying for heating costs, including payment plans. Get more information here.
Northwest Natural, the main local natural gas provider, also has plans available for paying the gas bill. Get more information about their program here.
If you would like to donate money to a program that assists low-income persons with paying their Northwest Natural gas bill, you can do that here.
