Good morning, Portland! Here's your Feb. 14 7:50 a.m. winter weather update:

PBOT crews worked through the night to make our snow and ice routes as passable as possible. We're seeing some bare pavement thanks to the work of our crews!

Right now is a good time to shovel your sidewalks! We have a break in the precipitation, but more is on the way. It's a lot easier to shovel snow before it freezes.

Winter Travel Advisory: The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) advises the traveling public to continue to avoid travel through Friday. Additional freezing rain and snow forecast for tonight and Friday morning will continue to make travel hazardous.

W/forecasts again meeting severe weather thresholds, Multnomah County is also adding beds at those sites and opening two more sites, starting at 8 pm tonight:
