Thousands without power following Northwest storms
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Tens of
thousands of people were
without power in Wash-
ington state and there were
concerns about fl ooding
as snow turned to rain in
many parts of the Pacifi c
Northwest.
The National Weather
Service reports that Seat-
tle-Tacoma International
Airport has received 20.2
inches of snow so far
in February, the snowi-
est month in more than 50
years. Warming tempera-
tures today brought relief,
but also new concerns
as heavy tree branches
snapped and contributed to
power outages and closed
some roads.

FRIDAY
In Oregon, an overnight
crash due to weather in the
Columbia River Gorge that
involved three semi-trucks
closed Interstate 84 east-
bound and left only one
westbound lane open.
The Portland metropoli-
tan area woke to heavy rain,
but conditions in the gorge
were extremely treacher-
ous, with icy roads, snow
and a huge storm that has
dumped several feet of
powder on Mount Hood
over the past few days.
There were reports
of local flooding around
Portland and in southwest
Washington state after
several inches of rain fell
across the region in 24
hours. Columbia County
officials issued a state-
ment warning drivers of
flooding on Highway 30
between Portland and
Rainier, and small mud-
slides were reported north
of Portland.

severe winter weather and
avalanche danger.
Another 5 inches of
new snow fell in the Spo-
kane, Washington, region
overnight, turning the
streets into a slippery mess
and prompting numerous
school districts to cancel
classes for the day.
Eastern Washington Uni-
versity and Gonzaga Uni-
versity cancelled classes
on Tuesday, but Wash-
ington State University
reopened for school. Offi -
cials reported more than
100 traffi c accidents in the
Spokane area on Monday.
Spokane and much
of northeastern Wash-
ington remained under
a winter storm warning,
with 3 to 6 inches of new
snow expected to fall in
the region, the National
Weather Service said.
“Travel could be very dif-
fi cult,” the National Weather
Service said this morning.
