How should I use the “current” report from the Road Weather Stations? How are they placed and how large a radius does it cover?
A. The reports are very specific to the area that the cam and/or weather station is situated in. Generally, these weather stations are placed in areas where winter weather poses particular problems for highway maintenance and / or avalanche conditions, such as mountain passes. It is important to understand that these reports cover those areas specifically and may not reflect the weather conditions at different elevations further along the same highway route.
