For real time updates of road closures in Idaho, visit the above link, especially when planning travel and zoom in on the area where your travel plans will take you.

Today, February 6, 2007 in the Grangeville Idaho area, we are experiencing high winds, blowing snow and most roads are being reported with packed snow.  Its best to stay off roadways if you do not have to travel. 

Hwy 95 is closed from Grangeville Idaho to Cottonwood ID.

Years ago I kept a weather log at www.grangevilleidaho.com and I learned later that alot of people from outside the area were following that log.

Since I’m blogging several times a week, I will resume the weather notices. Visitors to this site can click on the “weather” category to pull up the most recent weather notices easily.  When possible, I will post photos to show the appearance of the weather from my vantage point 6 miles east of town.

Today of course, the weather conditions are poor.  I heard from a friend in town they are calling it BLIZZARD CONDITIONS in town and Hwy 95 has been closed all morning.  Blowing snow and drifts are the real hazards, including high wind.

Schools are closed today in the Mountain View School District 244.  Check their website for other notices pertaining to school closures. www.sd244.org

Best thing to do today is to stay put inside safe and warm.
