Right now east Multnomah County roads are more of an issue than the County's west side roads. Any County roads that are exposed to the cold gorge air overnight will be more susceptible to ice. Multnomah County Transportation has 24-hour road coverage for this storm event. Crews are plowing and putting down sand where it's necessary. Our roads staff say it could be a dangerous morning commute after it freezes overnight.

N.E. 238th Drive (closed)
S.W. 257th from the Historic Columbia River Highway to S.W. Cherry Park Road
Buxton Road (closed)
West County roads to avoid:

**Most west County roads will be more dangerous in this storm event because they're steep and windy.
