| Description: |
Lake enhanced snow showers will gradually taper down to flurries this morning. While little to no additional accumulations are expected, slick roadways remain possible this morning due to overnight temperatures causing potential for refreezing. Assume any untreated roads and surfaces, including bridges, overpasses, decks, and steps could be icy. If traveling, slow down and exercise caution. Allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination. |
