WINTER WEATHER UPDATE:

Temps continue to be below freezing, which means anything that lands can turn to ice. Many of the main roads are ok, however, secondary roads, parking lots, driveways and STAIRS are very slick.

Chief Chris Garner says "IF you don't NEED to go out on the roads, that would be the best choice."

Look for heavy rain to move in later today, but that could also set us up for ice tomorrow morning.

PLEASE BE SAFE OUT THERE
