Roads are icy, stay home. Last night’s sleet and freezing temperatures are making the roads slick and dangerous. Staying off the roads helps emergency workers to safely do their jobs.

If you must travel, remember to:
- Drive below the speed limit and avoid sudden stops or sharp turns.
- Increase the distance between you and other cars.
- Monitor road conditions at https://t.co/pTkf8qzDOY.
