You will need chains if going over the pass in winter. You also need to be flexible - if the pass is closed it is closed, and you just have to wait. Generally the drive isn't too bad if it is open. There are a lot of great places to snowshoe including the Crystal Springs Sno-Park, Suncadia, and trails above Cle Elum.

To disburse sand or salt from the dump bed. Some just do it by gravity, some have mechanical spreader attachments to ‘fling’ the material across the lane(s)

Yes. That is definitely part of the problem.

What is unfair to the working class people: They are forced to live far away from the city because there is no affordable housing available in the city. And that forces them to use cars for commute. We need to change it and incentivize the development and expansion of the reliable public transit.

You can buy chains at Les Schwab tires and if you don’t use them you can get a refund at the end of the season

What kind of tires do you have?

Know what you have, what “traction tires” are, and know what the various warning levels for the passes are. WSDOT has a lot of good info on this.

Always carry chains this time of year and know how to use them.

Monitor the weather and pass conditions. One hour it might be fine while the next hour the pass is closed.

It puts more weight on the rear axle which provides more traction.

Pic is just from google images since I couldn’t find an example of it happening in action. I’ve seen it several times on Snoqualmie pass that typically on the down hill sections, snowplows will raise their bed all the way. Why would they do this? Wouldn’t that be way worse for their center of gravity?

For anyone wo cant do math. A typical gas tax is 49c per gallon, for a typical car that is 30 MPG for a gallon they would pay 75c per gallon, which is an increase of nearly 200%. This is a raw deal Washington, don't do it.

Then when they need more money it would be brought back

There was no way I was going to miss the Calypso landing in St Paul, Minnesota back when the team studied that river. My son was in diapers, and I wasn't going to let him miss it either. All the paddleboats in St Paul welcomed and led her into dock, and it was incredible and thrilling. Jacques didn't really do the trip, but they helio'd him onto the Calypso right before she docked so he could walk off her and greet the crowd.

A moment I will do my best to never forget! If I do, at least there are pictures for my son even though he doesn't remember it at all, lol!

The only TV program my mom would let us ditch our homework to watch.

Over the pass, you should be fine. Go slow, and if conditions are bad reschedule your trip

You won’t make it up any forest roads, so plan a snowshoeing destination that has a plowed parking lot

Depends on exactly where you're planning to go. You won't make it up any of the unmaintained forest roads. You should be able to make it to the snow recreation areas on maintained roads, though.

His being was a long stupid moment. My family has been destroyed by MAGA bullshit. I have no tolerance for the people that played any part in growing that movement. And even less for those who used their influence to push nonsense around Covid that got people killed.

I just drove through Snoqualmie last week in my little sedan. Make sure your tires have good tread on them, and carry chains. Take it slow, that’s the best you can do. Safe travels!

No second. Before asking someone to stop celebrating a decent man who made some mistakes, you you stop celebrating the fact that he no longer lives. Or would you like for the entirety of everyone's lives, including your own, to only be judged by their worst, stupidest moments?

Be prepared for worse case scenario. Carry extra blankets and warm clothes, water, flare, non perishables just incase. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

I didn’t celebrate it, but I’m also going feel bad out pretend he wasn’t who he was.

And second??

Carry chains. Put them on if the advisory sign says so. Drive slow. Be cautious.
