Light snow and periods of freezing drizzle created slippery road conditions through late Monday, February 8, which continue on Tuesday, February 9.

The Missouri Department of Transportation warns that glazing of the pavement along with bitterly-cold temperatures still could impact travel along I-70 corridors on Tuesday.

Chemicals used to treat the roads lose their effectiveness in the bitterly-cold temperatures that are expected to remain through much of this week. Any thawing that occurs during daylight hours will likely refreeze overnight, causing patches of black ice and slippery road conditions, particularly on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses.

Drivers are urged to slow down and allow themselves extra time to reach their destinations.
