Looks like a great day to stay in and complete tasks that you’ve been putting off, like cleaning that closet, finally starting that book, or binge watching that new series on tv. Please, be safe today!

WINTER STORM UPDATE: 511wi.gov shows deteriorating road conditions as a major winter storm moves through Wisconsin. Many roads are snow-covered and slippery, with different conditions depending on your location. Widespread heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain, and poor visibility are expected to be an issue throughout the day. We urge you to avoid travel today if possible.

If you must travel, use extreme caution to keep yourself and others safe:

➡Have an emergency kit in your vehicle with blankets, hat, gloves, food, water, flashlight, first aid kit and more.
➡Alert others about your route and expected travel time.
➡Drive appropriately for weather conditions, go slow in ice and snow, don’t take unnecessary risks, don’t follow other vehicles closely.
➡In case of a crash or slide off, stay in the vehicle, turn on the hazards, call 911 and move vehicles out of traffic if possible.

511wi.gov and the 511WI mobile app are great resources to know current road conditions, road closures, traffic incidents and traffic camera views. Stay safe today, Wisconsin.
