A number of crashes in busy places have traffic moving at a snail's pace. That includes northbound 35W from County Road 42 up to 494. We've got three wrecks in place at Hwy. 13, 98th Street and 94th Street.

Hwy. 169 is also a trouble spot. Northbound suffers from Hwy. 7 to 394 with wrecks at Lincoln Drive and Minnetonka Blvd. Southbound is snarled from Medicine Lake Road past a crash just past 394.

Look for a new crash on eastbound 394 at 12th Street in downtown Minneapolis.

Westbound 94 in Lake Elmo grinds to a very slow roll approaching a wreck at County Road 17. And look for tight conditions on westbound Hwy. 36 at Fairview Avenue where a crash is still taking out the left lane.
