The interstate through the area has been closed a number of times because of dangerous conditions, county roads remain anywhere from impassable to dangerous, with plenty of snow and black ice because the temperature has not been above freezing for more than a week. There were a couple storms that dumped about a foot of snow each just a few hours apart, burying the area with snow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/HeavySnow.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy snow in the Pacific Northwest January 2017\" title=\"Heavy snow in the Pacific Northwest January 2017\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/HeavySnow.jpg 600w, https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/HeavySnow-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been difficult to get to the WatermanAtWork World HQ because it is on a hill.
