We had 5 inches on the driveway at sunset yesterday (Pocatello, ID). My wife and I shoveled it down to bare concrete and salted it. It was clean, wet pavement at 6 PM. Both vehicles were cleared of snow. My wife went out at 7:45 AM this morning. Another 5" on the driveway and vehicles. There's more in the forecast this afternoon and for the next few days. That will help water supplies this year. My Rat Terriers are almost dragging their chests in the snow now.

Fremont County Declares A Disaster
By: Megan Boatwright

Like many other counties in northern Idaho, Fremont County declared a disaster today. Snowfalls have been higher than normal, and the county says their resources are being used to the maximum extent possible.

Snow is piling so high on the roofs of people's homes and other public buildings that they could collapse. Not from the weight of snow, but the ice it turns into.

Keith Richey with Emergency Management says he is working closely with Idaho Homeland Security in response to the disaster, and the county is asking people to be aware of the dangers.
