Gresham is a Multnomah County city on Portland's east side at the end of the MAX Blue Line, near the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge and home to Mt. Hood Community College. Its location makes it the first stop for winter east winds and ice storms coming out of the Gorge. When a device fails in Gresham, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label.
Gresham sits close to the west end of the Columbia River Gorge, where cold east winds funnel out in winter and can bring freezing rain and ice storms that bring down trees and power lines. Outages can last days. Put desktops and network storage on a UPS, shut down before a major ice storm, back up phones and laptops to the cloud, and let cold devices warm up before powering them on.
The rest of the year, the Portland area's long rainy season means damp air and occasional flooding in low areas, while summer can bring heat waves and wildfire smoke from fires in the Cascades and the Gorge. Moisture corrodes electronics and smoke clogs fans. Keep electronics in dry, climate-controlled rooms, use a dehumidifier in basements, and clean vents after smoky periods.
