Snow and treacherous roads have prompted state transportation officials to warn motorists to stay off the roads in Linn, Benton and Lane counties this morning.
Heavy snow has fallen on most highways form the Coast Range to the Cascades. Vehicles have spun out on Interstate 5 in the Albany area and on Oregon 126W between Noti and Eugene. Multiple trees have fallen onto U.S. 20 between Lebanon and Sweet Home, and on Oregon 226 between Crabtree and Lyons.
Oregon Department of Transportation crews are plowing and sanding highways. Officials say motorists should be prepared for poor driving conditions.
