From Mayor Crystal Dingler: “City offices will open at 10 am tomorrow, Thursday, Jan 19, due to expected early morning hazardous driving conditions. Police, Fire, EMS, and Street Maintenance personnel will be on the job as they were today.”

Apparently, City Hall and other city offices were closed, today . . .

From the PUD, at 12:42 p.m.: Power is restored in Ocean Shores. The only remaining outage is in the Quinault area due to a downed wire and broken pole. Work to make repairs is underway and power is expected to be restored late this afternoon (around 4:15pm).

Side streets in particular around Ocean Shores are “tough sledding,” today:

Not sure if this is weather related, but received a message this morning from one of the organizers of the Burning Bear Festival: It is canceled. It was scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, in Ocean City.

From the county: Grays Harbor County Emergency Management is alerting all citizens that the snow we received today was extremely wet and heavy. Please be aware of possible collapse to awnings and structures not in sound condition. Be extremely cautious if you attempt to clear the snow from a roof area or awning.  Your weight may be what will trigger a collapse.
