It's almost that time of year again to be aware of the snowy passes or even when it will snow in town next. But when do we put our Studded Tires on? With the first snow fall?

The State Patrol has not released detail yet about what appears to be a four-vehicle chain reaction crash Wednesday night at about 8:30pm.

The fire is burning 1,440 acres just south of State Route 20 North Cascades Hwy., which has led to the roadway being indefinitely closed.

The roadway originally closed late Monday afternoon, but then reopened to single lane traffic Monday night before closing down once again Tuesday afternoon.

I know. In the past couple of months it seems like we’ve been hearing so much about roundabouts in the Wenatchee Valley. With the aggravation of all the roundabouts on First Street, to the new ones being created in North Wenatchee and Leavenworth. It makes our heads spin like Linda Blair’s head in The Exorcist. But “They” tell us that roundabouts are for the most part safer than the 4-way stops. Here are the stats.

The highway was closed at Ellensburg because a jack-knifed 18-wheeler was blocking the entire roadway.

Many drivers are getting on the road without proper tire chains or knowledge on how to drive during the winter.

Commuters should also prepare for longer travel times due to traffic near the Stevens Pass summit, along with icy road conditions and increased snow.

The project will require the closure of Easy Street on both the north and south sides of U.S. 2.
