...SECONDARY ROADS WILL BE ICY THIS MORNING...
IN EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...FREEZING RAIN FROM YESTERDAY EVENING AND
EARLY THIS MORNING HAS ENDED. HOWEVER...MANY ROADS WILL STILL BE ICE-
COVERED AND SLIPPERY.
IN NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED OF
ICE-COVERED AND VERY SLICK SECONDARY ROADS. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN
ABOVE FREEZING ALL NIGHT. HOWEVER...MANY SECONDARY ROADS STILL HAVE
