SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT for Monona-Harrison-Shelby-Pottawattamie-Mills-Fremont Counties:

Patchy freezing drizzle and an area of light snow was causing some slippery roads this morning across parts of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. Secondary and elevated roadways are the most likely to have some light icing, as well as decks, sidewalks and parking lots.

Brisk north winds of 25 to 35 mph and temperatures below freezing will maintain the threat of light icing through the morning drive time. Motorists are urged to use caution and allow some extra time to reach destinations. Also, you may have to scrape your windows if your vehicle was outside overnight.
