A winter weather advisory has been issued for Marion County and the surrounding area for most of the day today.

According to the National Weather Service, freezing rain, sleet, and snow may all mix during the day, making travel difficult in the region, despite the low ice and snow accumulations expected. Many area roads are becoming partially covered with snow, and the Marion County Road Department and Iowa DOT remind drivers to exercise caution by not crowding their road crews and plows and to slow down, as slick roads may be spotty throughout the region.
