Nothing is being reported on the highways SnowSure watches near Craigieburn, but none of those feeds carries a timestamp we can read — treat that as unconfirmed, not an all-clear. Check the official map yourself before you commit to the drive. The resort road status and the official DOT map are authoritative — re-check before you drive.
