MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Light snow and falling temperatures are creating slick road conditions across the Twin Cities metro area Wednesday afternoon.
Slick road conditions
The backstory:
The day started relatively mild, with temperatures in the 30s. Light snow moved into the area and is expected to taper off by the afternoon. However, as temperatures continue to fall, some of the melted slush and moisture on roadways could refreeze, leading to slick spots.
Traffic has been moving relatively well, but MnDOT lists metro area roads that are covered in ice, snow, and light compacted snow as conditions change. There have been some crashes reported, including a vehicle that left the roadway and flipped onto its side near northbound US 169 in Shakopee.
