Keeping tabs on Wednesday's morning commute

Good morning commuters.

It's looking and feeling more like February out there than the middle of April. The rain, sleet and snow overnight has left city streets and lesser-traveled road in tough shape. Watch that walk to the car.

The freeways and highways are generally just wet, but with temperatures at the freezing mark, there are a few slick spots out there.

The State Patrol just cleared a couple of spinouts, including one on eastbound 394 at 494.

The ramp from eastbound 94 to southbound 35W is temporarily closed while crews work to clear a crash.

I'll be keeping tabs on the drive to work and school, letting you know where you will find delays and issues on the roads and rails.

I could use your help, too. If you see problems, let me know by commenting on this post, sending me an e-mail at drive@startribune or a 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.
