La Crosse, WI – Freezing drizzle and snow are combining to create slick and hazardous road conditions across western Wisconsin, with icy spots reported on untreated surfaces.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, secondary roads, parking lots, and bridges are particularly dangerous as ice accumulates. Motorists are urged to slow down and use caution when traveling.
Radar updates show freezing drizzle continuing through the early morning hours, with minor snow accumulation expected as precipitation moves eastward. Even a light glaze of ice can make roads treacherous, especially on overpasses and untreated areas.
Drivers should allow extra stopping distance, avoid sudden braking, and check road conditions before heading out. Officials recommend delaying travel if possible until conditions improve later in the morning.
