Roads have become very slippy across the area. We have road condition links below. There are so many slippery spots that I’d run out of room writing here. As this line of precipitation moves through for the next few hours, we’ll look for a light glazing of ice on roadways. Some counties have already reported numerous accidents with roads completely covered in ice. Please drive carefully if you are out.

Both I-90 and I-35, previously shut-down due to blizzard conditions, are back open. You can read more at KTTC.com.

We’ll still see some blowing and drifting snow today, but not as bad as Monday. Look for sub-zero wind chills for your Tuesday.
