Keeping tabs on Tuesday's morning commute

After a brief winter respite, we're talking icy patches and slick spots again. Just enough precipitation fell to leave those types of hazards on the roads, so use caution as you head out.

Good morning, commuters!

After a brief winter respite, we're talking icy patches and slick spots again. Just enough precipitation fell to leave those types of hazards on the roads, so use caution as you head out.

Roads are in good condtion in the immediate metro, according to MnDOT. But road ratings drop to fair just north and west of the metro in places such as Independence, St. Michael, Elk River, St. Francis and Buffalo.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

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