Editor's Note: See the Dec. 22, 2004 Daily Newsbulletin story about the process the Laboratory has in place regarding delays and/or closures. Also, employees are reminded to call the Update information line at 667-6622 or 1-877-723-4101 for information on the status of Laboratory operations on inclement weather days.

I am concerned as to why the Laboratory is not calling snow delays when the roads are obviously a hazard. I live off the hill and am unaware of the conditions until I become stuck in traffic. Is it possible that a road conditions hotline be implemented for Los Alamos/White Rock? This would alert travelers to allow extra time in getting here. If there is already something like this in place, can you please publish the number?

By the way, whatever happened to the "Safety First" stance that was so important at one time? I hope this issue will be rethought before something tragic happens.
