MONDAY, NOV. 28, 2005 Snow possible at 500-foot Weather forecasts are calling for snow below 500 feet in parts of Southwest Washington, perhaps starting as soon as this afternoon. Weather reports are varied, but some are calling for approximately 1-2 inches in the lower elevations along the I-5 corridor, and 4-6 inches plus in the higher elevations. Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews across the Southwest Region began their winter schedule today, and have spent the last month stocking up on solid and liquid chemical anti-icers and de-icers, tuning up and gearing up all snow and ice removal equipment, and hiring seasonal employees. Maintenance crews have been put on-call and are ready to work around the clock if needed. Because abrasive materials, such as sand and gravel, cause more damage and are more costly, chemical anti-icers and de-icers are being used in southwest Washington. Liquid chemicals are applied in advance of a storm to prevent ice from forming or snow from sticking. After a storm solid chemicals are used to melt hard packed snow and ice. Daily Insider has terrible day A seemingly impossible error, the result of which was a deluge of email messages to some Daily Insider subscribers occurred today. Some subscribers were not happy. This newsletter is sent to subscribers in four different batches. One batch of subscribers received an email message meant for the Insider, not everyone on the particular list. But those on that list of 840 subscribers all got that email. Then helpful subscribers sent the Insider an email telling the editor something had happened. Each one of these return emails generated a whole new set of emails to the same set of subscribers. This got more subscribers involved resulting in more email messages. Some got more than a 112 unwanted email messages. The editor apologizes. The problem has been fixed. No viruses were involved. Manual recount automatic in
