...VERY TREACHEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY...

...TRAVEL IS DISCOURAGED...

VERY COLD WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TUESDAY. SKIES HAVE BEEN
CLOUDY TODAY AND HIGHS HAVE ONLY BEEN IN THE 20S SO THERE HAS
BEEN LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT ON THE ROADWAYS.

ANY PARTIAL THAWING THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO TRAFFIC TODAY
WILL REFREEZE THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE ABOVE FREEZING
FOR A FEW HOURS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS SOME SUN BREAKS THROUGH THE
CLOUDS. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A LITTLE MELTING...BUT AFTER SUNSET
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BACK INTO THE 20S AND ANY LIQUID ON THE
ROADS WILL REFREEZE.

ICY ROADS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY
MORNING. MOTORISTS ARE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED FROM DRIVING. IF YOU
MUST DRIVE ACROSS AREAS WITH ICY ROADS...BE PREPARED. MAKE SURE
THAT YOU HAVE A WINTER STORM SURVIVAL KIT WITH THINGS SUCH AS
BLANKETS...A FLASH LIGHT...AND EXTRA FOOD AND WATER JUST IN CASE
YOU GET STUCK. A SHOVEL AND SOME SAND OR KITTY LITTER MAY HELP IF
YOU GET STRANDED.
