The Iowa Department of Transportation reports that area roadways are 100% snow and ice covered and may be slick.

Highway 163 between Pella and Des Moines is particularly ice covered and slick, and the DOT urges caution on bridges. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office also reports area roadways are slick, and that they have been responding to reports of vehicles in ditches. County plows are out treating intersections and problem areas. State plows are also out. If you must travel, take extra time to get to your destination, and give our road crews and first responders plenty of room to work.
