At 1:32 a.m. on Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for Central Oregon that would last until 7 a.m.
“The Hwy 97 corridor south of Shaniko has seen patches of freezing fog and light snow. Since roads are currently coated with snow, visibility will be as low as a quarter mile. Because Monday’s peak temperatures were just above freezing, there was a chance that patches of patchy ice would have formed as well. The weather service advises drivers to use caution when driving in the early morning hours of today.
United Robots offers a service called Advance Local Weather Alerts that gathers the most recent information from the National Weather Service using machine learning.
