Officials with the Washington State Department of Transportation said crews had a busy Wednesday morning clearing snow from U.S. 97 at Blewett Pass.

The highway was closed for about four hours because of heavy snow, poor visibility and multiple spinouts, officials said.

After the disabled vehicles were cleared, officials said crews were able to get the road plowed and back open.
