State Patrol: 'Expect Icy Patches and Slippery Spots'

Roads throughout the area are improving, but drivers will find reduced speeds on local roads.

Lieutenent Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol said drivers should plan on doubling their normal commute times and "expect icy patches and slippery spots."

Delays are currently being reported on multiple roads in the west Metro, including most interstate arteries. 

The light traffic Monday night and early Tuesday morning gave state and local transportaion departments a chance to tackle the compacted snow clinging to most area roads—blamed for giving most drivers the most problems.

No serious accidents are currently on the radar.
