BOISE –- A snowstorm blowing through the Treasure Valley today wreaked havoc with motorists and forced the closure of some schools in the area.
Traffic on Interstate 84 was moving at a snail’s pace during the morning commute. Idaho State Police dispatch reported to about 50 calls, mostly slide-offs. A semi-truck loaded with pears overturned in the eastbound lanes near milepost 25 west of Caldwell. Police say the driver hit the brakes to avoid hitting another car, causing the back end of the trailer to slide off the road and flipped the entire truck onto its side. The pears were transferred to another truck to help lighten the load. Traffic is limited to one-lane through the area.

Yeah, it's bad in Sandpoint... My car got smashed yesterday by a gal blowing a yeild sign on ice... Fortunately no one (including the two kids I had in the car) was hurt. Snow bowling anyone?
So?? loaded question, do you like trading the winter monsoons, for shovels of snow? Like people say, its enchanting the first few weeks!
I'll reserve my comment for the end of January, when the snow will no doubt be less charming....
