I’m good with fining folks who snarl traffic. If you get lost in the woods, or they have to pluck you off a mountain, you can be stuck with a bit SAR bill. I’d say the same logic should apply to idiots who are not prepared to deal with snowy conditions.

Stop people before they snarl traffic. Set up checkpoints at the bottom of each side and turn people around.

I'm good with that too. Save the idiots from themselves.

Here's my opinion on this checkpoint. The other Saturday I headed to Leavenworth for the Xmas lights. We drove the whole way with minimal traffic.

We got to within 3 miles of town and boom, traffic jam. We waited 3.5 hours until we got to the source of the traffic jam, it was a 4 way stop sign.

Putting an individual at a checkpoint looking for traction devices would have a similar effect. I don't see any good solutions evident.
