TYLER, Texas — With the temperature reaching up just above freezing on Friday, snow and ice on Tyler roads began to melt.
However, Andy Erbaugh with the Tyler Police Department says the road conditions in the morning were worse than they'd been the rest of the week.
"For the most part, it's been very good to see that there's not a whole lot of traffic out there," Erbaugh said. But when they do go out, they get stuck. We're seeing that that's been the case, especially in certain areas, just over and over and over."
City crews have focused on sanding and de-icing bridges, overpasses and around hospitals while Smith County teams worked on main arterials in the city.
