I-494 in the south metro looks to be extremely icy between Pilot Knob Road and 34th Avenue. Look for a wreck on the right shoulder at Pilot Knob Road and a spinout involving a vehicle facing the wrong way at Hwy. 5.

Ahead, a spinout is on the right shoulder at Hwy. 100.

The biggest problem at the hour is on southbound 35E in St. Paul. A multi-vehicle crash has the left and center lanes blocked at Maryland Avenue.

In Minneapolis, the ramp from southbound 94 to westbound 394 is jammed with a crash and spinout. Looks like at least 20 cars are waiting in line.
