The wider storm

A winter storm system brought heavy snow to the western Columbia Basin near the Cascades and to the northeastern basin from the Spokane area to the Palouse region on January 7th through the morning of the 8th. Generally 3 to 5 inches affected the Wenatchee area, the Waterville Plateau and the Okanogan Valley. The adjacent Cascades received similar accumulations but these amounts are not uncommon for the mountainous areas. Over the eastern areas widespread heavy snow occurred over Idaho but the border regions of far eastern Washington were also affected with a general 2 to 5 inches of accumulation under the edge of the heavier accumulation shield.
