Motorists in the Raccoon Valley Radio listening are encountering surprising slick road conditions Monday morning.

The Iowa Department of Transportation is reporting partially covered ice on the roads this morning in Greene, Dallas and Guthrie counties. A small portion of roads in Guthrie County are completely covered with ice. According to the National Weather Service, the overnight and early morning drizzle is flash freezing on the roadways as temperatures drop into the 20s and teens. National Weather Service officials anticipate road conditions to improve as the day goes along.

DOT plows are out applying material to the roadways. If you encounter a plow on the road, give them plenty of room to work and don’t crowd the plow. The one to count on for winter weather coverage is the Raccoon Valley Radio Network.
