Duluth, MN – Drivers across far northern Minnesota are being urged to use caution Wednesday morning as light snow and ice pellets create slippery conditions on area roads. The National Weather Service in Duluth reports that light showers are ongoing across the region, with travel impacts expected to continue through the morning hours.
According to the US National Weather Service Duluth, road conditions currently range from “seasonal” to “partially covered” due to light snow and patches of ice. The agency’s latest update, issued at 10:01 a.m. Wednesday, notes that the combination of snow and freezing precipitation may make roads slick, especially on untreated surfaces and rural highways.
Drivers are advised to reduce speed, allow extra travel time, and use headlights to increase visibility for other vehicles. Even minor accumulations can make for hazardous travel, particularly in shaded or elevated areas where ice forms more quickly.
