Along with this dangerous cold... Things could get slick on the roadways. Please take precautions.

Extremely cold temperatures are expected across the state tonight through Saturday.

The road salt melting process takes more time to activate in cold temperatures like we’re seeing. Expect slippery conditions – slow down and increase your following distance. Remember to keep an emergency kit in your vehicle with extra food and warm clothing in case you get stranded.
