Winds gusting up to 90 mph left at least 100,000 homes and businesses without electricity Friday in western Washington as snow snarled traffic in other parts of the state.

High winds and falling trees also cut power to about 45,000 customers in Oregon. A lingering ice storm, meanwhile, kept as many as 150,000 customers struggling without power in Texas and Arkansas, where five deaths were attributed to the weather.
