When I moved to Oregon ten years later, my cousin told me that Portland had been covered with inches of volcanic debris. We dug up a rain drain at my house in Beaverton because it wasn't doing its job and discovered that it was filled with black volcanic ash.
I was working at the power plant in Centralia. They plowed the motel parking lot with a snow plow. The ash was definitely gray, I still have a jar of it.
