Warm weather has created many snow-free roads that could pose dangerous situations for travelers in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
National Forest roads, usually closed this time of year because of heavy snow depths, will not receive scheduled maintenance until sometime in May.
Motorists traveling back-country roads could face fallen trees, boulders or washouts and blockages caused by winter storms over the past few months.
Sierra Club offers state of environment

Learn about the legislative priorities of the environmental community. The talk will cover likely political battles in the Legislature over issues affecting clean air, water and unspoiled lands. 1000 Friends of Washington will speak about its plans.
Lobby Day in Olympia is planned for Feb. 17. The Sierra Club is supporting better car emission standards and high-efficiency “green” buildings. For more information, call 206-378-0114, ext. 320.
Peace group screens movies
Everett Peace Action offers a free screening of peace movies beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday at Wired and Unplugged, 717 First St., Snohomish.

Corrections
* The owner of KRKO-AM must receive a conditional-use permit and shoreline permits before it can build radio towers south of Snohomish. The project’s status was misstated in a headline over a story on Page A1 Tuesday about Snohomish County issuing its final environmental impact statement on the towers. The statement found the towers would have no effect on the environment and cleared the way for the project to proceed. A group opposing the towers hasn’t yet decided whether to appeal the environmental study.
* The director of Compass Health, Terry Clark, is a woman. Her gender was incorrect in an item that appeared in FYI on Page B1 Tuesday aimed at clearing up confusion over which of the organization’s facilities were closed.
