Local conditions
Conditions vary block by block in John Day, which is why routes are planned locally, not generically.
John Day, the Grant County seat, sits in a narrow canyon along the John Day River in the Blue Mountains' rain shadow, where valley cold-air pooling can make the town noticeably colder than the surrounding ridgelines on clear winter nights. US-26 and US-395 both pass through downtown, so ODOT and city crews share responsibility for keeping the highway junction itself clear.
We regularly service routes near US-26, US-395, Main Street, Canyon Boulevard.
