...HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST
THURSDAY MORNING...

Dangerous road conditions will continue at least into Thursday
mornings. Temperatures will fail to rise above freezing today,
preventing any meaningful improvement to road conditions. Any
modest melting that does occur will rapidly freeze overnight as
temperatures fall as low as the upper 0s, especially west of
Highway 17.

Travel is discouraged. If you must travel, slow down and allow
for plenty of space between yourself and other vehicles. Be
especially mindful on bridges, overpasses, and secondary roads.
