I am hearing that northbound Hwy. 61 through Cottage Grove and Newport is skating rink. Word is there are several spinouts in the vicinity of 80th Street.

Other spinouts: One on westbound 494 at Prairie Center Drive has the left lane blocked.

There is another one on westbound 494 at France Avenue. Driver ended up in the right ditch.

Most of the metro roads continue to struggle. Heavy traffic is making for double and triple drive times. Folks are going nowhere fast.
