While most of the minor snow accumulations remained confined to cold, grassy surfaces - the snowfall has made area roads wet. With temperatures below freezing, and road temps near freezing, icy spots are developing on untreated roadways - especially bridges and overpasses. Accidents are being reported across southeast Minnesota on account of the slick travel. Evening motorists - roads will look wet, but could be icy. Treat them as if they are. Take it slow and use an abundance of caution. Exercise your winter driving skills. Also, sidewalks and other exposed surfaces could develop icy spots. Pedestrian traffic should be prepared for slippery travel as well. The snow will decrease in intensity and areal coverage moving into mid evening. $$ Rieck
