Just thought I would rant here. I just got back from a 5 day trip in the Seattle/ Everett area visiting my mom and sister. It snowed and the roads were pretty icy, making it difficult to get around. I can't believe the lack of support from WSDOT. Its almost as if they did nothing as far as sanding and salting the roads. The road conditions were terrible and very unsafe. I know you guys get more rain than snow, but this was damn ridiculous. Not much at all seemed to be done besides I-5 and the like, but even that was minimal at best. A lot of the main roads didn't have much done to them. Seriously, were they caught off guard by this storm, or is this how things normally are? The trip to the airport wed. night at 4am was treacherous and dangerous. 2 inches of snow on the highway with black ice underneath. I did not see a sand/salt truck the entire way.
My sister is driving down to Eugene, Or on Christmas day in her Toyota Camry. You guys apparently have a blizzard coming in up their today or tomorrow, with conditions continuing into Christmas. My mom drove this same route last Sunday night and almost didn't make it. She saw cars going off into ditches, joining the many that were already thier.
Is WSDOT this icompetent and unprepared, or were they just caught off guard?
