Iowa — Forecasters say wide sections of Iowa may see a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain later today (Wednesday) and driving could quickly become treacherous.
Pete Hjelmstad, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Transportation, says people will need to be ready — and cautious — when they hit the roads.
Also, take your cell phone with you, make sure it’s charged, and make sure you’ve got a charger. Hjelmstad says the DOT has changed its road conditions website to better show ice-covered roads.
Before heading out this morning, Hjelmstad reminds you to check the forecast as well as the current road conditions through 511ia.org.
