The continuing rain and melting snow has made Sudden Valley’s roads very wet and slick. Additionally, there are fallen trees and branches creating hazards. Crews are clearing tree debris and performing other work to improve conditions as much as possible. Please stay off the roads if possible. This post will be updated as additional information becomes available.
SSC has decided to close today because of unsafe road conditions and will NOT pick up garbage in Sudden Valley as usual. Residents may discard their trash in the dumpster located in the parking lot between the Library and Barns. Rec Center Staff will unlock the dumpsters as needed.
SSC will also allow extra garbage to be picked up next week on the regular schedule.
Sudden Valley’s primary and secondary roads are passable for vehicles with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive and good tires. Melting snow and ice still present a challenge and there are many downed tree limbs. Crews will begin clearing tree debris during daylight hours, for safety. Please avoid or delay travel if possible. This post will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Most Sudden Valley roads have been plowed and sanded, but compacted snow and ice remain. Low overnight temperatures have caused roads to become slick. Staff began spreading additional sand on all primary and secondary roads early this morning and will complete plowing the residential roads later today.

Sudden Valley conditions continue to be challenging with compacted snow and ice on the roadways. Low overnight temperatures may cause additional icing. Crews have plowed and sanded all primary and secondary roads and about 75% of residential roads. Crews will return early tomorrow morning to continue work on the roads.
Please avoid travel if possible. This post will be updated as additional information becomes available.
Sudden Valley conditions are challenging with compacted snow and ice on the roadways. Steadily falling snow makes even plowed roads slippery. Crews have plowed and sanded all primary roads and most secondary roads, but are returning to primary roads because of the continued snowfall. Residential roads will be addressed as time allows, but probably not until snow stops falling.
Please stay off the roads if possible. This post will be updated later today.
SVCA offices will be closed today, Wednesday, January 17th due to inclement weather. While roadways are currently passable, a prediction of more snow makes future road conditions unpredictable. Please check SuddenValley.com for road condition updates throughout the day. Call Security at 360-319-8200 to report road issues.

Sudden Valley roadways are passable with 2-3″ of snow on the ground. Because snow is predicted to continue falling for several more hours, future road conditions are unpredictable. SVCA is currently plowing and sanding the main roads and we expect to work on secondary roads later this morning. Residential roads will be addressed as time allows.
Please err on the side of caution and stay home if possible. This post will be updated later this morning.
