January 20, 2010 Highway Report
Things are looking sunny in Stanley today! All highways are open with wet to packed snow conditions, especially on Galena Summit. Highway closures have been quite infrequent this year, thus far, but always check with ITD or make a call to the Stanley City Clerk at 774-2286 prior to travel after or during storms. You can view up to date highway info on ITD’s website at http://511.idaho.gov. This can help fill in any gaps in our reports. As far as the weather in concerned, there is a string of storms on their way! 50% chance tonight and tomorrow with 70% snow likely on Friday diminishing to a chance of snow on Saturday. These storms will apparently be bringing wet, snowy conditions with wind. Be prepared for messy roads. Depending on the area, heavy drifting and low visibility could also be an issue with Friday’s storm. Check back with us or check out the ITD site. Here’s to happy and safe travels!
