After 15 winters of service, this bot will now go silent. Most of you won't notice until the snow starts falling again in November. Thanks and goodbye.
15 years ago, this bot joined Twitter. Today, chain control went up on I-80 for the first time since May and the bot stayed silent, because Twitter's misguided owner kicked it off of the platform this summer.
The bot's new home is here:
Think Snow.
ADMIN: There are credible reports and screenshots that show Google, Apple, and Waze are suggesting routes on unpaved, very dangerous USFS roads. DO NOT TAKE THESE!
CA-49 between Sierraville and Auburn is paved at least, but still dangerous. You need high clear 4wd & 2 vehicles.
Note: I am not recommending you take CA-49. It's a HAIRY road, especially in this kind of snow. But if you must, bring a friend with a tow strap, and go in the morning so you have light.
The best thing you can do is stay where you are.

ADMIN: Twitter locked this account sometime recently, and I didn't realize it until this morning. The bot should start working again now. Enjoy your last blast of snow.

ADMIN: The bot has hit some sort of artificial throttle/limit again, and is not posting updates. I don't know when it resets.
If you want a reliable feed of chain control info, you're probably going to need to use the Mastodon version.
