    Do not try any of the steep hills until it’s above 32. Just used my Jeep with outdoor rated tires trying to go up Charleston and had trouble.  Very slick.

      Aren’t all vehicle tires rated for outdoors? 🤔

    Alaska Street is all good all the way to the bridge.  Bridge was good everyone was taking it easy for once and not tailing you all the way.  No Ice or anything on the bridge that I could tell.  Just take it easy and don’t tailgate just in case you might hit a patch.

      Thank you to Lola for that report… I need to be on the east side at 10 and that’s exactly the information I was looking for.

    The main arterials will be fine -it’s  getting to them from side streets that can be problematic in WS.Just take it easy.

    Downtown is significantly clearer than West Seattle.  No snow accumulated on anything, so once you get out of your neighborhood, it’s not too bad.  Appreciate everyone’s care with driving this morning, hoping we can keep it up all week.

    Hey WSB, not sure how often you read comments but I just want to mention the NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 10 AM tomorrow; they’re calling for up to 2 inches of snow.

    • WSB February 3, 2025 (6:18 pm)

      Thanks, I was just on my way to check NWS site, covering two basketball games and they demand rapt attention …
