...FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL RESULT IN SLICK TRAVEL CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING... .Continued freezing drizzle, along with some deposition due to freezing fog formation, will make for minor ice accumulations generally near and east Interstate 35 north and east of the Twin Cities metro. Temperature observations are in the low 30s within the Advisory, with 33-35 degrees a bit farther to the south, which should result in only drizzle and wet roadways where temperatures are above the freezing mark. Slick roadways are likely in areas that remain below freezing with a glaze to up to a tenth of an inch of icing possible from freezing drizzle through sunrise. Conditions will improve from sunrise onward as temperatures warm enough to begin to melt any ice, with temperatures generally above freezing throughout the day. * WHAT...Freezing drizzle and freezing fog. Additional ice accumulations around a light glaze. * WHERE...In Minnesota, Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, and Washington Counties. In Wisconsin, Barron, Polk, Rusk, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, and St. Croix Counties. * WHEN...Until 9 AM CST this morning. * IMPACTS...Very slippery sidewalks, roads and bridges are possible. The hazardous conditions will impact holiday travel and the Friday morning commute.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. In Minnesota, call 5 1 1 or visit 511mn.org for road conditions. In Wisconsin, call 5 1 1 or visit 511wi.gov for road conditions.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
