...Snow Ending Then Freezing Drizzle Into Early Evening...

At 445 PM...radar indicated that the snow would be ending along
the Mississippi river between 5 and 6 pm. In southeast Minnesota
and northeast Iowa where the snow has ended, freezing drizzle has
been reported, heaviest in Minnesota. This has caused a slight
increase in accidents, according to law enforcement, in southeast
Minnesota.

In Wisconsin, as the snow comes to an end over the next hours,
expect the same period of freezing drizzle to occur, causing slick
roads to persist.

The freezing drizzle will gradually come to an end this evening. The
impact of the freezing drizzle and any ice glazing will be greatest
for roads that are not covered in snow already or have treatments
down for melting. Also, the drizzle will be more steady in
southeast Minnesota into west-central Wisconsin.

Be careful if moving about this this evening as conditions may be
more slippery due to the combination of snow and freezing drizzle.
