Chain law ? Define LAW !
When is CSP going to start enforcing this alleged ?law?
I'm sick of these truckers getting stuck and blocking up the whole road. This morning I saw several officers on I-70 near Bakerville... one CSP & the other CCSO. Here's a hint guys.. the ching-ching-ching sound comes from the trucks that are following the rules. Try going after the one's that aren't making that sound when they slide (slide being the operative word) past you. Especially the one's that stuck up the traffic at the tunnel this morning at 6 am.

They have been enforcing non compliance with chains over here in the San Luis valley strictly. Anyways monarch pass is closed for avalanche mitigation since 1630, wolf creek pass still showing required chains no wide loads truckers still sliding around w/ chains, Cumbres la manga chains required pre C-dot, happy driving

update: Monarch pass reopen @2122 w/ chain law in effect

Amtrak has been rerouting some of their trains (California Zephyr) per Dispatch 82 (ARRA Ch 23). I haven't seen anything specific mentioned on their website.
