Who thought winter was over? 🙋
Welp, mother nature is showing us that she still controls our happiness. BOO!

This system sounds like it's going to be messy and create some interesting driving conditions. From snow to rain then to ice, please remember your winter weather driving skills.
✔️ Slow down - Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination
✔️ Increase your following distance - Give the vehicle in front of you and yourself plenty of space
✔️ Use your headlights - Use of headlights in winter weather can help let other drivers know you are there
✔️ Don't use cruise control
✔️ Wear your seat belt
✔️ Monitor road conditions at sd511.org

Along with these tips make sure your vehicle has a full tank of gas, your phone is charged and you have the appropriate winter weather clothing in your vehicle.

- Allow yourself plenty of time for travel

The NO TRAVEL ADVISED is still in place as crews work to clean up city streets and highways. With the blowing snow visibility continues to be less than ideal. Winds look to increase slightly as the day continues, which will impact visibility even more. The possibility of more snow accumulation as we continue throughout the day also plays a role in the decision to keep the NO TRAVEL ADVISED in place. The advisory will continue to be evaluated as the day goes on.
