Fresh Open Thread
by Mike Orr from Seattle Transit Blog on (#671GS)
Snow is expected today, although it continues to be unpredictable as it was three weeks ago. Here's a fresh open thread to discuss it and other topics. Wednesday and Thursday will be unusually cold in the low 20s. Beware of black ice.
Metro's Snow Guide dashboard has a map of which subareas are on snow routes or the Emergency Snow Network. The page has a map of ESN routes, and links to the route-specific Service Advisories page and to subscribe to Alerts.
In East Seattle I've found Pine Street is the easiest way to get around in the snow, as it's relatively flat from 1st Avenue to 14th Avenue. The worst part is crossing I-5 at Boren, where the bridge sidewalk can be icy.
