    I’m surprised they didn’t have an advisory yesterday.  Early Monday morning, my car slid on a really slick patch; it caught me by surprise but was going slowly so was able to stay safe.   It was definitely foggy and slick.

    My windows were iced up this morning but my husband just squirts them with rubbing alcohol and they are cleared instantly.  It is the Fog this morning that you have to be careful of some spots more than others.  Go slowly onto the WS bridge and keep your distance so we don’t have accidents.

    Accident on Sylvan Way-Eastbound. Two cars hit a pole because of the slick road.

      How recently did you see the scene? Unless it’s a different crash, I saw an SFD response logged before 6 am but it had closed by the time I saw it around 7 so I didn’t mention it.

      • Amy November 28, 2023 (8:28 am)

        It was blocked until a bit after 8a. My back yard buts up against Sylvan Way.

    Any info on the safeway bomb threat? Store has been evacuated. 

    • WSB November 28, 2023 (8:49 am)

      Over now but we did get some info from police and published that separately.

  • Arleen Stockstill November 28, 2023 (9:06 am)
