New Cameras On The Pass Let You See At Night- Or During A Storm

I had hoped not to be using any phrase that involved the words 'snow on mountain passes' anytime soon, but the WSDOT is going there so it looks like I have too as well.

Those of you who have tried to use the DOT traffic cameras on Snoqualmie Pass at night- especially during a snowstorm- know that a lot of the time all the cameras can pick up are pitch black and the occasional car headlight.

Not anymore though! New and improved low-light traffic cameras have been installed on the Pass. Here's how to check them out, from the WSDOT blog.
