A Washington State Trooper tries to stand up barrier posts after a car slid off of eastbound I-90 Monday morning in Spokane Valley, at approximately 9 o'clock this morning. Most of the region woke up to 3-5 inches of new snow. There have been a number of slideoffs & crashes this morning on both sides of the border. (SR photo: Jesse Tinsley)
