Word is that roads west of the metro in Wright County are icy and slippery. Several spinouts have been reported so take it easy out there. We've had word of a rollover accident on Hwy. 55 in Medina.

In the metro proper, we have mainly dry roads with occasional slippery spots. We have no accidents to report at this time. However, there are plenty of spots that have heavy traffic.

That includes southbound 35W from Hwy. 10 to 694. It's 12 minutes down to Hwy. 280.

Westbound Hwy. 36 is 10 minutes from English St. to Hwy. 280.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is 15 minutes from 94 down to Hwy. 7.

Northbound Cedar Avenue is 10 minutes from County Road 42 up to Crosstown.

You'll find a little tightening on westbound 94 from Mounds Blvd. to 35E. and on southbound 35E from Hwy. 36 down to I-94.
