Friday afternoon road report

Viaduct and high bridge still in pretty good shape, but that ramp from 99 to the bridge is still dangerous … Once in WS, where the surface arterials such as Fauntleroy are fine, we checked out 35th today instead of Cali. It’s clearly been plowed (dirty snow stacked up on the center line) and sanded, but there are some danger spots. Still gotta go really slowly uphill. And there are some icy spots around the summit (Myrtle/Holden). Oh, and those side streets, still ice-sheet nightmares. It’s not really warming up for a few more days, either … hey … wait … now there are FLURRIES in the forecast????

Thanks for the update on this. I’m on Delridge and have been afraid to try and venture “up the hill” without knowing what was going on, especially after seeing news footage of people sliding sideways down Thistle. Heck, it’s hard enough venturing out of my unplowed apartment complex.

Flurries have arrived. I’m at California & Hinds, and the teeny-tiniest snowflakes are coming down. (No, this stuff is not just blowing off the roofs)
It’s noon on Saturday. Will this stuff ever go away?

Sorry, comment time is over.
