What to Expect in the Morning
The mess on the roadways will not be any better in the morning.
Extreme cold has made all roads like ice rinks, near impassable and very dangerous.
There are numerous abandoned vehicles along various roadways. These are not going anywhere and will only hamper travel in the morning.
It will be best to wait things out in the morning and I think waiting to at least 10 or 11 AM to see what is going on and what conditions the roads will be in would be wise. Many schools and businesses are already closed Wednesday and there is no need for anyone to be out on the road unless they have to be.
The sun will be out in the morning and will help begin to melt some of the snow and ice. Also, the very dry air moving in tonight will also help with the snow and ice by the process of sublimation. These processes will help improve road conditions tomorrow, but it will be a very slow process. Afternoon highs tomorrow will struggle to reach the freezing mark.
Use extreme caution if you will be traveling. Take your time and slow down.
