No Parking: Snow and Ice Emergency
If you're parked on a major road in Eugene, you may want to put on your coat and go move your car. The city declared a snow emergency.
That means all vehicles must be removed from snow emergency routes. Those are collector streets, where neighborhood streets meet; major roads and highways; and bus routes. | MAP
Parked and stranded vehicles can be towed at the owner's expense.
Stuck at the airport
Going by air didn't allow travelers to avoid problems on the ground. One flight was cancelled at the Eugene Airport this morning -- not because of bad weather here, but because of conditions in San Francisco.
"I got here, delayed," said Dave Ridgeway, who was supposed to leave at 10 a.m. "3:25 I'm supposed to get out of here but that's delayed, and the next one is 6:02, so maybe. I don't know."
Some flights were delayed while crews de-iced the planes. Airport officials say you should check with your individual airline before you go to the airport. | FLIGHT INFO
