12 miles. dang. So the 14 freeway was heavy, was it?

Speaking of my neck of the woods, here's Avenue J this afternoon:

That mud is so thick and goes on for so long, the picture doesn't do it justice.

What's the deal with the designated county routes being ignored here? This is N-5! The rest of the roads are clearing out and leaving this main thoroughfare blocked. I bet they're not doing it because no one wants to. There's no way to know how much road is actually under there, anyway.

[BurbankKarl]

Did you call County Roads?

On Friday morning we went out to check the progress. There was none but a deputy was there, also surveying the situation. When asked what the dilly, he shrugged and said he thought they were supposed to be there. He didn't know why they weren't. I drove around yesterday and discovered what might be the real problem. The street that pic was taken on is J. The cross street is 110th East. J is e/w, 110th is n/s. So, I drove over to K, a mile south of here, and realized where all J's mud came from. There is a wash carved out next to 110th street, on the east side, that must be twelve feet across, maybe five feet deep, and at least a quarter mile long. All that mud is now sitting on Avenue J.
