Winter Weather “Advisory”- What to Expect

Winter weather is in the forecast Sunday into Monday, and a Winter Weather ADVISORY is issued when the forecast calls for blowing snow, accumulations of more than 3 inches of snow in a 12-hour period, freezing rain, or sleet.  Also, a reminder that Unplowed/less traveled roads may be slick, and road conditions can change quickly.   Headlights should be ON not on auto, distance, slow down and ease into braking. Buckle up, avoid distractions and use extra caution on ramps, bridges and overpasses and of course: don’t crowd the plow!  Check 511ia.org for the latest road conditions in Iowa.
