Messy conditions can lead to closures and cancellations. WDIO will update our list as needed.
Take extra caution as you venture out today. Mild temperatures, mixed precipitation and strong winds have made the surfaces very slick. Light rain and freezing drizzle has left us with a icy glaze covering many surfaces.
The region will deal with periods of snowfall, as snow has been falling in the western portions of the state and along the International Border. Strong winds from the northwest will pick up in the afternoon and bring additional snowfall to the Northern border and across the lake.
