Special Statement


... Snowpacked roads will result in hazardous travel conditions
through at least Monday morning...

Most locations across the southeast half of the panhandles generally
received between 1 and 5 inches of snow earlier today. Although the
snow has largely ended across these areas... roadways remain
snowpacked and slick. Surface temperatures are expected to remain
below freezing through late Monday morning. As a result... hazardous
travel conditions will continue through at least late Monday morning
for many locations. This will have a significant impact on the Monday
morning commute... including motorists traveling along interstates 40
and 27 and highways 287 and 60.

If you must travel through Monday Monday... motorists are advised to
drive slowly and not follow other motorists too closely.
