With the temperature below freezing and snow on
the way, highways in Boundary County are rated
"fair" as of 6:10 a.m., but be on the lookout
for slick spots.
The weather radar image, captured at 6:30 a.m.,
shows an active weather system moving to the
northwest and into Boundary County; highways
from Sagle and Newport south already show as
"difficult" south into Latah and Clearwater
Counties.
As the system moves in, snow is expected to grow
heavier through the day; the indications are
that the warning that the evening commute will
be difficult will be borne out.
If you need to stock up on groceries and
supplies, going as early as possible might be
wise -- you might also want to stock up on
firewood, candles and lantern oil, as if the
snow is as heavy as predicted, power outages are
possible.
As of 6:20 p.m., it's 32 degrees in Bonners
Ferry, 30-degrees in Troy and 27 in Libby.
Lincoln County highways are currently wet with
patchy ice in Troy and Libby, dry from Eureka to
Whitefish and snowy south of Bull Lake and into
Sanders and Lake Counties.
If traveling today, be safe! |
