ANATONE, WA - If you're headed south past Anatone, be ready for very slippery conditions.  The Oregon Department of Transportation reports black ice on the highway leading to Enterprise.  Drivers will also get to contend with freezing fog in places and more than two feet of snow on the sides of the road.

SNOQUALMIE PASS, WA - Snoqualmie Pass is back fully open.  Some of the exits are blocked with several feet of snow though.  If you're headed straight through to North Bend or beyond, it shouldn't be a problem.  The Washington State Department of Transportation recommends you don't drive with less than traction tires, and oversize loads are prohibited.

KAMIAH, ID - If you're getting sick of the snow, you should head into the mountains.  Usually that statement doesn't make sense, but today Kamiah has less snow than the LC Valley.  Most roads in our area are considered slick at best with high winds in some areas to go with it.

ASOTIN, WA – Voters in Asotin have said “yes” to the continuation of a levy that will keep emergency medical personnel in their town with paramedics close by.  In last night’s election, nearly 73% of voters approved the Emergency Medical Service levy.  The levy continues the same rate that taxpayers were already paying.  Last year voters turned the levy down.  In a previous interview Mayor Vickki Bonfield said she had heard from a lot of voters that they were confused and thought it was a new levy on top of the current one. 

SNOQUALMIE PASS, WA - Not much has changed in the last 24 hours except for another pile of snow on top of what was already there.  The Washington State Department of Transportation has kept the pass closed since Monday evening.  The concern is avalanches to go with poor driving conditions.  Some DOT workers say it's the worst they've seen in 20 years.

SNOQUALMIE PASS, WA - The pass is closed and will be until things change considerably.  “We haven’t seen monumental snow accumulation like this in over 20 years,” said Harry Nelson, WSDOT maintenance superintendent. “We are literally digging our way out of all this snow so that we can get it back open for drivers.” 

OLYMPIA, WA – If a bill goes through the Washington State legislature, you won’t have to go anywhere to get your pot.  House Bill 1358 would make it legal to deliver marijuana.  The delivery would be legal to any business already licensed to sell marijuana.  It won’t just be openly legal though, businesses will have to pay a fee to have the endorsement put on their license to sell marijuana.
