Freezing rain, fog, and drizzle and temps hovering right around the freezing mark made for a slow and slippery Tuesday commute.

Omaha Police are no longer responding to accidents unless there are injuries or vehicles are blocking a roadway. Anyone involved in a property damage crash only should move over and exchange information.

WOWT 6 News reporter Jenna Jaynes was out on the streets keeping an eye on the road conditions. Residential streets were of the most concern as the pavement in some neighborhoods was starting to freeze over.

According to Nebraska 511, Waze users were reporting standstill traffic on West Dodge Road as far west as 156th Street east to Interstate 680. Similar reports were seen on Interstate 680 and I-80 eastbound.

The icy conditions are not restricted to only streets. Sidewalks and parking lots are just as slick and area hospitals are seeing a number of patients with ice-related injuries. As of 5 pm, nearly 114 patients had turned up at area hospitals seeking medical attention. Most of the cases were related to a fall, though some patients were also involved in a crash.

Trash collection was halted temporarily due to icy conditions. Omaha Public Works sent out a tweet saying any remaining sites that didn't get picked up today will get picked up tomorrow. Crews stopped collections for an hour or two, but have resumed pickups thanks to sunshine and warming temperatures.

Conditions were reportedly worse outside the Omaha metro. Highway 6 west of Oakland, Iowa was completely shut down due to numerous crashes. Traffic was being rerouted south to Highway 92. Interstate 29 was also shut down just south of Sioux City, also due to a high number of crashes. Our crews saw Iowa State Patrol cruisers in position near bridges as an attempt to get drivers to slow down.

Various schools outside of the Omaha metro area are opening two hours late due to the icy conditions.
