Good morning, commuters!

The roads are in much better shape that they were over the weekend following the big dumping of snow that froze on the pavement.

Scattered icy patches still exist, especially on city and county roads, so keep the speeds down and be on alert.

We have no issues at this hour, so travel times are decent.

Metro Transit says the first inbound Northstar train is delayed by 20 minutes due to freight traffic.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.
