On this day, January 02, in 2004, a powerful winter storm hit the Pacific Northwest, resulting in a wintery mix and heavy snow across the Washington portion of the Columbia Basin and surrounding valleys and foothills. Along the Blue Mountain Foothills, 1 to 4 inches of snow was reported and highway patrol reported that cars were being blown off the road on highway 12 due to gusty winds and ice. In the Yakima and Kittitas valleys, as well as the lower Columbia Basin, 6 to 8 inches of snow accumulation was reported. Breezy winds in the Tri-Cities also led to snow drifts up to 20 inches deep
