Two pedestrians share an umbrella in the rain, Friday
in downtown Tacoma, Wash. A winter storm moving
through the Pacific Northwest Friday brought a mixture
of showers, mountain snow and freezing rain to the area.
Rain leaves Oregon meager snowpack
WILLAMETTE PASS (AP) — Plenty of rain has fallen
in Oregon since October, the beginning of the recorded rain
year. Yet the snowpack for the entire state is 54 percent below
normal. The snowpack in the mountains of the Willamette
Basin is 55 percent below normal, said Scott Oviatt, snow
survey supervisor at the Natural Resources Conservation
Service in Portland.
Just two winters ago, unseasonably warm weather
contributed to the lowest snowpack levels on record in
the Cascades.
The weather forecast for the next few days doesn’t
look promising for snow lovers. An “atmospheric river”
of moisture was expected to move into Oregon, and
drop rain on much of the state, according to the National
Weather Service in Portland.
Relatively warm temperatures will prevent the
precipitation from turning into snow over much of the
Cascades, McCoy said. Higher elevations in the moun-
tain range may get a few inches of snow, she said.
Man found with gunshot
wound in Morrow County
discharged from hospital
BOARDMAN — A man
found with a gunshot wound
last week in Morrow County
has been released from the
hospital.
Kyle Ulrich, 47, told
the East Oregonian he was
discharged from Good
Shepherd Medical Center
on Thursday. The hospital
confirmed he is no longer a
patient.
Oregon State Police
reported they responded to
Love’s Travel Stop near exit
159 on Interstate 84 on the
morning of Dec. 21 for a
report of a man in a private
vehicle with a single gunshot
wound. The caller reported
that Ulrich, injured, had
flagged them down a few
miles away and they had
transported him to the truck
stop before calling 9-1-1.
Ulrich told police that
he had been kidnapped in
another part of the state and
held captive in an unknown
location for several days
before being taken to Morrow
County and shot. According
to information provided by
OSP on Friday, detectives
are still investigating the case
and trying to substantiate
those claims.
They do not believe there
is a threat to the general
public.

Mixed bag of rain, snow, freezing rain across Northwest
SEATTLE (AP) — A
winter storm moving through
the Pacific Northwest on
Friday brought a mixture
of rain, mountain snow
and freezing rain, causing
multiple collisions and
headaches for some trav-
elers ahead of the holiday
weekend.
Authorities urged drivers
to be careful as freezing rain
and snow created icy roads
in many parts of the region,
including many communities
in Whatcom County and
central and eastern Wash-
ington.
“Driving conditions are
bad, and walking conditions
are, too,” the Grant County
Sheriff’s office said in a tweet
Friday, urging people to “just
stay home if they can.”
About 1 to 2 feet of
snow was expected in
the North Cascades, the
National Weather Service in
Seattle said Friday morning.
Meanwhile, Snoqualmie and
other mountain passes saw a
mixture of snow and freezing
rain.
Gusts
and
winds
are expected to pick up
throughout Friday in western
Washington and could bring
possible tree damage, said
Logan Johnson, a meteo-
rologist with the National
Weather Service in Seattle.
Heavy rain may also cause
minor flooding in some rivers
in western Washington. A
-0s
flood warning was in effect
for a few Puget Sound rivers
through Monday.
Parts of northwest Oregon
and southwest Washington
may get up to several inches
of rain, and a flood watch is
in effect in that region until
late Friday.
In Idaho, officials said
the winter storm will make
traveling difficult in the
panhandle region through
Saturday with up to 2 feet of
snow expected.
Idaho
Transportation
Department spokeswoman
Megan Sausser said crews
have been pre-treating roads
with salt and are now out
plowing.
“In a storm event like this
there are going to be plows
on the road 24-7,” she said.
Tractor-trailers heading
for Lookout Pass on Interstate
90 east of Coeur d’Alene on
Friday are being required to
use chains.
Several winter storms
have already come through
this season resulting in a
flurry of crashes and slide-
offs, but drivers might have
had enough practice now
to adapt to winter driving
conditions, said Idaho State
Police spokeswoman Natalie
Allred in Coeur d’Alene.
“It’s snowing pretty
hard right now,” she said
late Friday morning. “It all
depends if it’s going to get
warm or cold.”

Senior volunteer
accused of
abusing 2 kids at
Oregon school
Man violated no-
contact order 29
times in 2 weeks
MEDFORD (AP) — A
former classroom volunteer
charged with sexually
abusing a kindergarten
student in southern Oregon
has been now been accused
of having a second victim.
Sgt. Julie Denney of the
Jackson County Sheriff’s
Office says the second
child is from the same
kindergarten class at Lower
Table Rock Elementary
School in White City.

72-year-old Jerry Lodge,
has pleaded not guilty.
He was in the classroom
through a program
that places seniors in
classrooms throughout the
Rogue Valley. Participants

background check.
Lodge has been in the
county jail since his Dec.
8 arrest.
EUGENE, (AP) — A
31-year-old man is accused
of violating a no-contact
order 29 times in two
weeks.

a Lane County Circuit
Court judge after Drew
was arrested by Coburg
police Dec. 13, charged
with four felonies and three
misdemeanors.
Lane County Chief
Deputy District Attorney
Erik Hasselman says the
majority of the no-contact
order violations were a
result of Drew calling the
victim from jail.
Drew has pleaded
not guilty to charges of
unlawful use of a weapon,
strangulation, assault and
felon in possession of a
firearm. in addition to
misdemeanor charges.
