Please be careful tonight and in the morning as things refreeze. Many streets are still very treacherous.

We know this stretch has been wearing on everyone. Kids at home, routines disrupted, and a lot of people simply ready for this to be over.

Patrol officers are seeing some improvement across the city, but conditions remain uneven. Some roads, like Highway 75, are in better shape, while many local and residential streets are still icy or narrowed.

As late as this afternoon, we still saw cars spun out or stuck in different spots around town.

This in-between phase is misleading. What looks passable in one area can still be slick in the next.

We appreciate everyone’s patience. We know this has been a long week.
