A fender bender is off to the right shoulder on eastbound 394 just east of Hwy. 100.

Elsewhere traffic volumes are light, but building. Look for some crowding on westbound 94 in the vicinity of Hwy. 280.

Things are filling in on southbound 35W from Lake Drive down to 694. That will cost you a couple extra minutes.

Eastbound 94 is 10 minutes from Hwy. 101 down to 494.

Northbound 35W is 8 minutes from County Road 42 to 494.

Nothing too bad yet, but precipitation is falling and with temperatures at 32 degrees it could start freezing to the pavement.
