OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The day after heavy snow hit the Pacific Northwest, people are dealing with icy roads, power outages and the dangers of snow causing flooding when it melts.

Morning commuters also found icy streets in the Seattle area. Transportation Department trucks are out spreading salt and deicer.
