Crazy Conditions Out There- Check www.SRTMC.org Before Driving

Emergency Management
I-90 is moving at 30 mph in many areas, people on the South Hill have been told to just wait to go anywhere to ease up congestion, and Highway 291 is closed due to collisions.

The Spokesman-Review has a roundup of areas you should avoid this morning. And it's a lot of them. I'd say go back to bed but I'd probably get in trouble with your boss so just take it slow and check out the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center website before driving anywhere. It's got dozens of live traffic cameras you can view to see what areas of your commute to avoid and a big map right on the front page with trouble areas.
