Freezing Rain Causes Snow Emergencies

The first taste of winter had arrived in our area and roads are slick.  It has resulted in a Level 1 Snow Emergency in Muskingum and Perry Counties. The Ohio Department of Transportation has been salting roads and streets Thursday morning due to a coating of freezing rain. It has caused a rash of accidents across our area. Be careful if you are going to be driving this morning, especially on bridges and overpasses.
