On Monday at 8:32 p.m. the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory in effect until Tuesday at 10 a.m. for South Central Oregon Cascades and Siskiyou Mountains and Southern Oregon Cascades.
The weather service says to anticipate, “Snow above 5000 feet. Additional snow accumulations between 3 and 6 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.”
“Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute,” adds the weather service. “Slow down and use caution while traveling.”
Winter driving guide: Tips from the weather service for safe and sound travels
Winter’s icy grip often turns roads treacherous, leading to over 6,000 weather-related vehicle fatalities and more than 480,000 injuries each year. When you find yourself on snowy or freezing rain-slicked roads, your top priority should be safety. Slow down and exercise caution. In temperatures near freezing, it’s prudent to assume icy patches on the road and adjust your driving accordingly. Be on alert for ice accumulating on power lines and tree branches, as they may break and fall. If possible, avoid driving in these conditions altogether. But if you must venture out, choose routes with fewer trees and power lines, and never touch a downed power line. If you encounter one, dial 911 immediately. Here are additional winter weather driving tips:
Share your travel plans:
When traveling out of town in hazardous winter weather, inform your family or friends of your destination, planned route, and estimated time of arrival.
Prepare your vehicle:
Ensure your gas tank is full and equip your vehicle with essential winter supplies, including a windshield scraper, jumper cables, a small shovel, flashlight, cell phone, blanket, extra warm clothing, drinking water, and high-calorie non-perishable food.
Stay calm when stranded:
If you become stranded, stay composed. Notify someone about your situation and location. Avoid attempting to walk to safety. Attach a cloth to your car’s antenna or mirror to signal that you require assistance. Make your vehicle more visible by using the dome light and flashers.
Be mindful of snow plows:
Keep an eye out for snow plows and allow them ample room to pass. Only overtake a plow when you have a clear view of the road ahead.
Check road conditions:
Before embarking on your journey, verify the current road conditions to make informed travel decisions.
These winter driving tips from the weather service are your key to a safer journey on snow-covered roads. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and ensure your well-being during challenging winter weather.

Oregon Ducks Commit Dakorien Moore Leads 2025 Class Recruiting Rankings
It’s no secret that the No. 1 Oregon Ducks and coach Dan Lanning have an aggressive recruiting strategy. Even during their latest “Ducks vs. Them” recap of Oregon’s 16-13 road win against Wisconsin, Lanning pointed around during a moment in the second half and said “this is why you come to Oregon,” as if to cue to his current athletes on the field and potential athletes watching at home how enticing playing for the “O” really is.
Lately, the Ducks’ efforts have been paying off with their rankings for the 2025 recruiting class.
On3 Sports recently updated its football prospects for the 2025 class, and an Oregon recruit lies near the top. Wide receiver Dakorien Moore is On3’s No. 1 ranked receiver and the seventh overall ranked recruit nationwide regardless of position. This five star was previously committed to LSU, but dropped and committed to the green and yellow on the Fourth of July. Moore will be the second highest recruit for Oregon of all time behind current New York Giant Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Quite a few potential future Ducks ended up making this highlight list. Hawaii five star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is trending for the Ducks with an upcoming campus visit, though the athlete is committed verbally to the Cal Bears.
Defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart is also set to visit the Ducks in the coming weeks, with Stewart being one of the most sought after defense players for this graduating high school class.
Wide receiver from Tampa and No. 28 2025 recruiting prospect Dallas Wilson has been a Duck commit since 2023.
Ohio safety Trey McNutt seems locked in with a verbal commitment to the Ducks.
On3’s No. 2 tight end Andrew Olesh is still eyeing the Ducks even with a recent visit to Penn State.
Rounding out the list is Kansas tight end Linkon Cure who is still being heavily recruited by Oregon late in the season.
Basically, Oregon is still in the conversation for a lot of high school athletes still unsure who to pick before National College Signing Day. At the very least, they’re a viable option for some of the best talent in the nation.
According to 247Sports, Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class ranks No. 8 in the nation. Oregon has 16 total confirmed commitments at this time. They have three five-stars, 11 four stars, and one three-star committed.
With this ever-changing yet impressive list of recruits, Oregon has 13 of ESPN’s 300 best players of the 2025 recruiting year.
Rivals also has Oregon at No. 11 for their most recent recruiting ranking update for the year. Ahead of the Ducks on this list are in order: Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Miami, Texas, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Georgia, and Ohio State taking up the top spot.
On all of these rankings, Oregon and Ohio State tend to represent the teams from the Big Ten Conference with the highest recruits coming in. With Oregon set to host their Big Ten rival in the Washington Huskies next week at Autzen Stadium after a bye week, expect the Ducks to invite more of the top talent in the nation to witness the energy of such a heated game.
