Start of 2024/2025 Snow Season

...In general, the snow was heavier, wetter and the air temp warmer than we normally get here. It has slowed all the plow services in the valley as they struggle to deal with it. Our neighbors and us still contract with a plow service to plow our shared road down to the valley floor where the county road is. It is about 3/4 of a mile long. There are shared roads like ours of similar or longer length up and down the valley. We have not seen our plow service yet. My neighbor managed to punch through a path to the valley floor with his tractor (he had chains on!). I suspect the county plows are also a little slow. I saw the lights of the county plow early this morning so I know are road in the valley is now clear to the state road. The state plows are generally on top of everything, as they just have the main roads to take care of.

Just curious - Have they closed the North Cascades Highway yet?

Yes they did Jim. They closed it "temporally" last Friday in anticipation of snow storms last weekend. Said they were going to evaluate on Monday. But we all knew they were going to close it permanently once Monday rolled around. They really want to have all those snow clearing resources available for the major passes to the south.
