Rare storm drops more than foot of snow on parts of Northwest

-

Residents of the Northwest are dealing with a heavy snowfall, and meteorolog­ists say more is likely on the way.

At least 200 flights were canceled at Seattle-Tacoma and Portland internatio­nal airports Saturday, roughly matching the number of Friday cancellati­ons. Severe snow drifts shut down Interstate 90 and other roads in central Washington.

More than a foot of snow was recorded in some areas, including on the Olympic Peninsula.

Meanwhile, officials are warning about severe surf and winds in Hawaii as a winter storm hits that state. The National Weather Service said gusts hit 40 mph in some areas.
