A light dusting of snow, dropping temperatures and refreezing conspired to create a slippery drive into the office for those how had to go in today.
The State Patrol responded to numerous spin outs and crashes related to deteriorating road conditions. At one time we have four spin outs and crashes on southbound 35W between 46th Street and the Crosstown.
