Commuting to Hermiston? (Umatilla: live in, horse, area)

[neal93]

Seems like some people who may live in the Hermiston area commute from the Tri-Cities area (in Washington). What's the commute like? Especially in the winter?

I've never made the commute on a daily basis, but I worked with people in Umatilla that made the commute. You'll run into more snow and ice over Horse Heaven Hills than in Hermiston or Tri-Cities, but I have to say that I don't remember them missing work due to not being able to make it in. It seemed that if we could make it in, they could to.

Thank you, not sure where Horse Heaven Hills is though?

Thanks--right...the hills between TC and Hermiston....they'll have snow at times when TC and Hermiston area won't due to differences in elevation.
