Slippery Commute Possible Today; Snow, Sleet Returns This Week
Saugatuck Elementary School’s driveway was clear of all snow, however ice quickly became an issue overnight. Today | Mostly Sunny and Dry; 30 Degrees
Ice is possible on the roads this morning, as low temperatures will hinder the ability of salt and de-icing liquids until the sun rises, warming the roads and allowing the substances to fully work. With schools operating on a two hour delay, this gives the roadways enough time to warm up, thaw, and remain safe for parents and buses.
