PORT ANGELES — Another winter storm brought more snow to Western Washington through Wednesday morning, dropping more than a foot of snow on parts of the Olympic Peninusla.

The Seattle metro area didn’t see much new snow but many schools, including those in Seattle, remain delayed or closed because of lingering snow and ice.

Reports from Port Angeles ranged up to 20 inches of snow.

Scattered power outages were reported, with more than 10,000 people were without power early Wednesday morning, including about 6,200 customers with Puget Sound Energy and 3,600 with Snohomish Public Utility District.

Winter weather advisories were also in effect for parts of western Oregon through Wednesday evening, with many schools delayed because of concerns about icy roads.
