Patches of freezing drizzle are moving through the area, with
temperatures currently hovering between 20 and 30 degrees. As a
result, light ice accumulation is causing a thin glaze of ice on
roadways, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and lightly used
corridors. Conditions are expected to persist until 6 AM. Use
caution if traveling.
