Be safe if you must travel, friends. Just a reminder that I will not be providing pet care in icy conditions. This is part of Happy Tails Inclement weather policy. Thank you for your understanding.
🚨Icy commutes Monday/Tuesday🚨
A concerning icing event is expected Monday into Tuesday Morning. Expect high impacts to travel, likely event cancellations and delays.
While amounts are not too significant, roads and parking lots will be slippery.
-Monday Morning Commute: HIGH impacts possible in the Saint Louis Metro. Freezing drizzle and rain is expected to begin between 5-6AM and continue through 9AM. The metro has high overpasses and these will ice up quickly. We urge residents in the Saint Louis Metro to PLEASE leave early and allow extra time to your destination!
-Monday Lunch Rush: Feeezing drizzle and rain is expected across central and northern IL by this point. Moderate impacts are likely as roads will have slick spots.
