  Traffic could be heavy for Santa heading down from the North Pole, so be ready to make room for his sleigh because ‘he knows if you’ve been merging…he knows who’s in your lane…he knows if you’ve been sig-nal-ing, so be good for goodness sake!’ https://t.co/jHOd1jYlgC https://t.co/06JeJdVeyZ

  🌧️ It's a rapidly-changing system. Some roads are still 100% covered and others partial. Ice lurks when you least expect it. If you must drive: 🌡️ Monitor temperatures for melting. 🔻 Take it slow. 🚘 Turn on headlights. 🚗 🚙 Create space with vehicles. 🕛 Take extra time. https://t.co/4Z8FAQjf5n

  Freezing rain/drizzle sticks around this AM - conditions that can make it nearly impossible to maintain control of your vehicle. #DelayYourTrip until afternoon when roads will improve as temps climb. Don't get fooled by #blackice. Roads that look wet may be a sheet of ice. https://t.co/ZpQb1LIOoz
