Meanwhile, over on highway 2Snoqualmie Pass remains closed due to extreme winter conditions from milepost 34 near North Bend to milepost 106 near Ellensburg. The pass will remain closed for at least the next 24 hours. Due to wet, heavier snow, the avalanche threat has increased. Friday, Feb. 1, at 9 a.m. is the earliest WSDOT will be able to assess the effects of this storm and our ability to reopen the pass.
Doesn't look fun to be backed up waiting for that.Stevens Pass will be closed between milepost 56 to milepost 99, Scenic to Leavenworth, while wreckers remove a pair of semi trucks that slid off the highway on the west side of the summit. Avalanche control is also in progress. Estimated time to open is 6:00 p.m.

Speaking of Idaho, my barrista yesterday morning was saying that both her sisters in north Idaho were snowed in. Considering they're having roof collapses there -- and it's not like they're unused to heavy winter weather -- I'd say it must be pretty bad.

I'll have the wood burning stove fired up again this weekend. I have a co-worker who just moved up here from Florida. Needless to say, he's a little baffled by the Ohio weather changes.
