Flooding, avalanches, outages all effects of Northwest storm

While snow and ice continued to fall in parts of the northwest, others in the region struggled with the aftermath of the same winter storm -- including floods, slick roads, power outages and avalanche warnings. The system itself remained a threat, with winter storm warnings from the National Weather Service in effect Thursday night for parts of eight states -- Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Yet fresh precipitation was just one of many continuing concerns. Chief among them was flooding, particularly in western Oregon and southwest Washington.
