I am my own worst critic…Decided to listen to the CD that got me hired at TWC. All I can say as my ears, my ears.
It will be interesting to watch both the Seattle Traffic Cams and the Cams over Snoqualmie Pass in the next few days as WADOT and local officials try to keep major roadways open. At this time a 70+ mile stretch of I-90 over the pass is shut down. Estimated earliest opening is 11 a.m. PST due to the heavy snowfall and the number of locations requiring avalanche control work.
Today’s Winter Storm in the Pacific Northwest will lead the weather headlines. Some parts of the Seattle Metro could see a foot or more of snow, while Portland, Spokane, Boise and Billings could all see 6 or more inches in the coming days. Major travel disruptions expected with I-90 already shutdown due to avalanche concerns.

The snowfall has been extreme this winter in Valdez, Alaska even for a city used to lots of snow. When the weather cleared, many were busy trying to move it from streets and roofs and reopen schools.
