They dropped all restrictions along I-90 at about 7:30 PM PST. I debated for about an hour as to whether or not to go. I decided to go. I pulled out of the truck stop at about 9:30 PM PST. Smooth sailing until I was about 10 miles from Snoqualmie Pass Summit. Notice how fast the road gets bad.
Up ahead on the east bound side there were a bunch of wrecks. They closed the east bound side and enabled the chain law again. I stopped at the chain up area off to the side of the road to wait. I got lucky the other day and was able to continue. Wasn't going to press my luck and continue. If I got caught continuing the cops would pull my permit and ticket me with a very costly fine.
I sat in the chain up area and waited for the restrictions to lift.
When I woke up in the morning...
I continued to wait.
Here is how deep the snow is up here...
I sat there for almost 13 hours. Finally a Road Department supervisor came by and said we will get you out of here. He said to go and he would let the State Police know I was going through and to leave me alone. I immediately left!!!
Here are some pictures of Snoqualmie with fresh snow...
Here is a short video of Snoqualmie...
I finally made it to Tukwila, WA Caterpillar dealer and delivered the wheel loader. Headed straight back to the TA truck stop in North Bend, WA. for a big meal and a long hot shower!!!!! Weather is supposed to get even worse this weekend. Glad I'm empty!!!!!
