Trip from Vancouver BC to Palm Springs
I thought it should be easy, but I am having problems. I was hoping to drive from Vancouver BC down to Palm Springs and I am worried about the roads and snow. Is there any way to check the condition...

511 Traffic Information
I'm offering a simple solution if you have a cell phone. Dial 511 on your cell phone and follow the prompts, and you can easily get current road conditions for your route. You don't need a smart phone for this, you just get recorded information on current conditions.
If you have a smart phone, just do a search for "ODOT" and you can look at current conditions using their cameras on I-5 at the summit of Siskiyou Pass.

Weather forecast are pretty reliable these days, hang out for a day if the pass is snowed in, and for goodness sakes don't do any cell phone work while you are driving. Pull over or let your co-pilot help. All the best with your trip. Hans
