Snowstorm, "DRACO" (Dragon) 30FT waves, 100MPH winds, 3FT SNOW
In these higher elevations the snow could reach two or three feet of snow, according to the National Weather Service. The NWS reported hurricane-force winds, as strong as 100 mph, in the mountains of the Northwest.

Along the coast, the winds are expected to reach 85 mph, fueling 30-foot waves. Most of the Oregon and Washington coasts have issued flood warnings in anticipation of tidal overflows and heavy rains in low-lying areas.

At least 40,000 without power. (total)

Forecasters said snow drifts could reach 4-6 feet in spots, making travel extremely dangerous.

As Draco's low wraps up Wednesday night into Thursday, moderate to locally heavy snow may develop in parts of the Plains and Great Lakes (northern Kansas and northwest Missouri to the U.P. of Michigan). A swath of 6-12" of snow, with locally higher amounts, is possible in these areas.

THE DRAGON TRIED TO KILL, BUT HE FAILED!!!

Winds knocked a tree onto a home in Lakewood, near where a 2-year-old was sleeping, but it missed the baby's crib.

Those names are something stupid The Weather Channel came up with for marketing purposes.

The National Weather Service, NOAA, and other weather groups say the names do not apply to these or any future storms.
