I'd check the traffic cameras...but I can't.🥶
See that ice? The road conditions are continuing to get worse, so if you don't have to be out and about, don't. If you do, make sure you take it slow. - JFK

All roads are TERRIBLE!!!!! Side roads, the interstate, and the beltline were not plowed. You must drive slowly. Give yourself a half hour of extra time to get to work if you can. It's bad out there!!!!

What E said! Clean off your ENTIRE vehicle. Snow blowing off your car can be dangerous to others around you.

It looks like all the vehicles involved in the crash have been cleared but the road will need to be repaired now. That looks like one heck of a buckle.

Still a shut down on the westbound Beltline at Whitney Way from an earlier accident blocking all lanes. Get out of the Flex lane when you see the red X! WISDOT shut off the traffic camera, so it is SERIOUS. Delay westbound back to Park St.
