AREAS OF NORTHERN IOWA. WE WILL TIME THAT OUT COMING UP. RHEYA: WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON ROAD CONDITIONS AROUND THE METRO. KCCI’S TOMMIE CLARK IS LIVE IN THE KCCI STORMCHASER. HAVE YOU HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH DIFFICULT ROADS OUT THERE? TOMMIE: WE HAVE. THE HILLS ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW. ESPECIALLY NEAR KCCI, WE HAVE A SHALE WHERE THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT EARLIER THIS MORNING. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST 30 MINUTES OR SO. WE ARE SEEING THESE SNOW-COVERED ROADS. IF YOU HAVE NOT LEFT YET OR PULLING OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY, YOU WILL SEE SNOWPACKED ROADS. WHEN YOU GET TO THE MAIN ROADS, NOT AS BAD. SNOW SNOWPACKED IN AREAS. MOSTLY JUST GETTING WET. SAME WITH THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM AND HIGHWAYS. THEY ARE LOOKING GOOD, A LITTLE WET. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN PEOPLE HIT A SLICK SPOT. YOU CAN SLIDE AROUND A LITTLE BIT, ESPECIALLY YOUR BACK TIRES. TAKE IT SLOW AS WE HAVE SNOWFALL. WE ARE EXPECTING MORE LATER THIS WEEKEND. PLAN ACCORDINGLY. FOR RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SEEING SOME SNOWPACKED ON ON THE SIDE ROADS. NOT TOO BAD ON MAIN ROADS
