Hood River County Public Works Director Mikal Diwan says they are clearing roads on a priority basis, and asking people to be aware that many local roads may not get plowed for up to 1-2 days depending on the intensity of the storm. Sand is being applied in severe cases but not upon request. He adds county crews do not shovel driveways, regardless if they are filled by a county plow truck, and they apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Diwan also says that until road conditions return to normal it’s recommended people do not travel unless absolutely necessary. If you do travel, please carry traction chains in your vehicle.
