Snow Delaying Travel On Snoqualmie Pass

Well here's something we haven't seen in a while- snow causing travel delays. This is a picture of Snoqualmie Pass taken around 9 this morning. Snow falling there has caused some slick roads and the temporary closure of the eastbound lanes.

Chains are required on all vehicles eastbound, escept all-wheel drive vehicles, and on westbound trucks. Traction tires are being required for passenger vehicles westbound.

Forecasters are calling for accumulations of 6 to 8 inches of snow in the area today.
If you're headed that way, here's a link to the Washington State Department of Transportation live traffic cameras so you can monitor conditions on the pass.
