    If you've been trying to drive anywhere today or in the past week, you may have noticed it's a little dicey out there!

    The Idaho Transportation Department has reported dozens of accidents and slide-offs over the past week. And highways from Interstate 84 to Highway 21 have been closed down at one point or another.

    So we wanted to get some winter driving tips from an expert, and who better to ask than AAA Idaho? Matthew Conde, Public and Government Affairs Director of AAA, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    As Idaho's wine industry continues to grow, the Gem State is being recognized for more than just its potatoes.

    The state has more than 1,300 acres of vineyards and over 70 wineries. With that in mind, the Idaho Wine Commission is once again hosting Winter Wine Weekends to give people a chance to taste some of the area's best varieties.

    Moya Dolsby, Executive Director of the Idaho Wine Commission, and Crystal Potter, co-owner of Potter Wines in Garden City, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    With all the recent snowfall in the state, Idahoans have had to find ways to adapt to the winter weather. And it turns out human beings aren't the only ones adjusting to the weather.

    The residents of Zoo Boise are also finding some ways to cope with the white stuff, as our Julie Luchetta reports.

    The Ada County Highway District is responsible for more than 5,300 lane miles of road, including most Boise roads.

    And with just 43 snow plows, ACHD has been working 12-hour shifts trying to plow and treat the roads during the recent heavy snowstorms, but with all the recent snow, crews have at times found that plowing all those main roads, more than 4,000 cul-de-sacs and 3,000 miles of residential roads is a bit daunting.

    How does ACHD plan for a big snowfall? Can they pre-treat roadways in advance? And who gets plowed first when the snow is coming down? These are questions people have been asking since the snow started falling. Jennifer Berenger, Deputy Director of Maintenance with ACHD, joined Idaho Matters to help provide some answers.

    You may have noticed that we've had a little snow lately, and one of Idaho's best winter events is the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge in the backcountry of McCall.

    Dave Looney is the co-founder of the challenge and a pilot. He helps run logistics for the race, which happens every January. He told our Morning Edition host, George Prentice, a harrowing story about how he got started with sled dog racing.

    A new plan to tackle Idaho's three biggest health concerns Jan 16, 2024
    Show notes
    ( St. Luke's Health System)

    If someone asked you, "What’s your top priority when it comes to health care?" what would you say?

    That’s the question a group of 23 different hospitals, health districts and other agencies asked the people who live in ten counties in Western Idaho.

    The answers are in, and now that group, known as the Western Idaho Community Health Collaborative, or WICHC for short, has an action plan to try to address the top three concerns of community members.

    Alexis Pickering, the Western Idaho Community Health Collaborative Program Manager; Angie Gribble, Senior Director of Community Health and Engagement with St. Lukes Health System; and Megan Remaley, Director of Community Impact with United Way of Treasure Valley, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the survey.

    Librarians from across Idaho spent their Martin Luther King Jr. Day distributing copies of a little book to every Idaho legislator.

    It’s a compilation of essays from people across Idaho, writing about the importance of their public libraries and why they’re against restricting what librarians put on the shelves.

    Dr. Jenny Emery Davidson, Executive Director of Ketchum's community library, sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about the “little” book’s historic inspiration and what she says is driving some of the current debate about what goes on public library shelves.

    As 2024 gets underway, animal shelters across America are continuing to see an increase in pet surrenders, especially when it comes to dogs, and Idaho is no different.
    With adoptions down, nonprofits like the West Valley Humane Society are working harder than ever to find forever homes for their many pups.

    Jennifer Adkins, the Executive Director of West Valley Humane Society, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this issue.
