Hi, everybody. 630 right now on your Tuesday. Thanks for being with us. An icy start to the morning and a very busy morning. A lot developing right now. Yeah. It's really causing a lot of problems within the last hour alone. We've gotten more than 100 school closings and delays even personally here on the desk. Yeah, all three of us now have to come up with plans today. So there's sad. Yeah. And I've been tracking the freezing rain but if you're wondering why schools are closing, take a, listen to this message from North Royalton schools. We're spending time on the road this morning and discussing the road conditions with our city. Our salt trucks in the city are having a hard time holding the roads because of the ice. Well, and the other issue with you guys is the fact that we have rain falling and so, so salt and treatment on roadways can wash off in the rain. So it's not, that could be another thing that's not holding. But the other thing is, I mean, if we don't have treatment on roadways, they're slippery this morning. And you're probably noticing that in your driveway on the way out. Be careful as you're heading out to the car. We have a winter weather advisory through noon. We'll see improvement as we go throughout the morning. But as of right now we've been laying down rain all morning and that rain is freezing on contact. So that's why you have the glaze and the slick streets. It's been hodgepodge, it's been back and forth. But most of us dealing with temperatures either right at freezing or a couple ticks above. But the problem is our surfaces are still at freezing from all the cold air we've had over the last week or so. Road temps are above freezing again. Interstates are fine this morning but the side roads, all that stuff, they're having problems. So we'll take.
