Frigid temperatures and wet roads mean you could encounter patches of ice on your Monday morning commute, so plan accordingly.

If you must drive, take it slow and steady. Give yourself extra time to get to your destination and watch out for ice and slick spots.

And be sure to visit 511sc.org or download the 511SC Traffic App to check road conditions before you go.
