Freezing rain has made roads icy

Freeways and highways are mainly wet, but city streets are treacherous.

Good morning commuters.

Temperatures fell just below the 32-degree mark over night and freezing rain fell across the Twin Ciites. That's left city streets and sidewalks icy. Watch out on bridge decks and ramps, too.

Mainline roads are primarily wet, but expect some slick spots and hazardous travel throughout the morning.

I'll be watching your drive to work and letting you know where the troublespots are. If you see any congestions, delays, accidents or issues on the roads, send an e-mail to drive@startribune.com or a tweet to @stribdrive.

Expect preciptation to fall throughout the morning rush hour. Then brace for another round of arctic air starting Wednesday.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
