Winter weather, including snow and heavy rains, hit the Grand Ronde community in mid-January, which made for fun for local children to play in tha snow, but also caused problems. Downed trees on Highway 18 caused a portion of the route to the Oregon coast to be closed at Grand Ronde Road heading west for a few days. Inclement weather and threats of flooding also prompted the Tribal Executive Office to start the work day two hours late on Jan. 1 7 and send employees home early on Jan. 1 8-1 9.
