Recommendation
Avoid driving from 6–10 AM, particularly on untreated roads; if travel is unavoidable, slow down and allow extra stopping distance. Safer morning slot: 11 AM–12 PM, after temperatures rise above freezing, though use caution for lingering wet/slushy roads. Safer evening slot: 6–9 PM, when it is dry with temperatures near 38–40°F; remain alert for localized refreezing later overnight as temperatures fall toward 29°F.
