Beware of icy road conditions

Just a friendly reminder to be careful out there. It has been unusually cold out this past week and now it's wet out too. Be especially careful in high wind areas, on overpasses and bridges - you might find yourself hitting an unexpected patch of black ice.

Remember, roads covered in shade may still be wet/icy even after other parts of that same road have warmed up and/or dried out.

yeah, Petrified Forest Rd is closed too, and River Rd is supposedly a big mess this morning with cars spun out all over the place.
