Title: Updated Snow/road reports
Post by: vandeman17 on November 08, 2022, 11:48:01 AM: I am pretty sure I know the answer but still worth asking. Does anyone have current road and snow reports for the Colville area and if possible, east of colville a ways up highway 20? I am still SLIGHTLY considering going up this weekend depending on the roads but will likely stay local and bird hunt. Thanks

That was my concern for highway 20 and then who the heck knows once you turn off that one the side roads

Good to know, thanks for the update. I would likely head over Friday either morning or mid day through Sunday so I will have to keep tracking it

Post by: Southpole on November 09, 2022, 08:11:42 AM: Last night we drove over Sherman, it was clear and wet and soon to be ice but no compact snow. Earlier when we went over Boulder, it was a mess. It was a couple of inches of rutted up compact snow with slush in places. 395 is clear from what I can see.
