Snow began earlier Wednesday evening, creating slick roadways across the region. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are anticipated before conditions improve. Officials recommend reducing speeds, leaving extra distance between vehicles, and avoiding sudden stops to reduce accident risks.
Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing, making untreated roads especially hazardous. The advisory emphasizes the importance of checking local road conditions by calling 511. Drivers should exercise caution while traveling in the area to prevent accidents.
