BELLEVUE, WA - If you live on a hilly road or at the end of a cul-de-sac, you might be confronting a slippery drive out of your neighborhood Tuesday morning.

Rest assured, Bellevue has plows and de-icing equipment out tending to local roads. But the city clears streets according to a priority plan, so you might not see your street plowed right away or at all - depending on where you live.

"The priority routes are less about where than about traffic volume and what the street connects to. Clearing roads for emergency vehicles (police and fire) and bus routes is higher up the ladder. Hang in there and travel safely," the city wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning in response to questions about its plowing response.
