Watch For Black Ice, Especially In West Plains Area

Just like all the other area agencies that deal with transportation, the Washington State Department of Transportation says, "We're doing the best we can, but no we can't clear the snow out from in front of everyone's driveway." Here's a link to their latest blog entry.
