  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

  We start the morning with an expanded Ice Storm Warning in east/southeast counties with completely covered (pink) roads. Most of the rest of the state is partially covered (blue). Surface temps will be key to melting and safe driving today. Take it slow if you have to go! https://t.co/aNgYrEwjAk

  It's slick in several western Iowa counties and most of the I-29 corridor. Travel is already hazardous as the system moves from W to E across Iowa. Expect impacts to continue overnight.
