Snow, Ice to Make Tues. Morning Commute Dangerous

Snow, sleet and freezing rain will complicate the morning commute tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 18.

Lawrence Township and the rest of the region are under a winter weather advisory that was issued today at 3:14 p.m. by the National Weather Service.

According to the weather service, between 1 and 3 inches of snow will fall, followed by periods of sleet and freezing rain that will possibly create a thin but dangerous layer of “glaze” of roads.

The snow is expected to begin between 8 and 11 p.m., with the precipitation changing to sleet and freezing rain sometime after midnight. It will then change over to rain around 9 a.m. tomorrow.  

"All untreated surfaces will be hazardous later tonight and conditions may not improve until shortly after sunrise Tuesday. Be prepared for some travel delays overnight and Tuesday morning,” the weather service said in this afternoon’s advisory.

“Freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities. Use caution while driving.”
