Out in the Pacific Northwest, the recent weather is spooking some folks.
Sadly , most car drivers out here have short term memory and forget that every two to four years, since at least the 1970's Bad weather happens in Winter.
While not a native per se, I have been in and out of the Northwest for the last three decades, and I remember.
Here are a few examples of the weather reports over the last 48 to 72 hours.
