Driving conditions are deteriorating this morning as winter weather has moved into the area.

As temperatures dropped below freezing around 4:00 this morning the rain has turned to sleet making for hazardous road conditions. Most area schools have canceled classes for today because of the roads. In addition to the roads, walking can also be a bit treacherous as sidewalks are also becoming ice-covered.

The sleet is expected to continue before changing over to snow later this morning as temperatures are expected to continue to drop throughout the day.

If you don’t have to get out today you’re urged to stay home.  If you do have to get out use extreme caution.
