Slick Roads Prove Hazardous for Tri-Cities Drivers
Roads were slick Monday morning as snow began to fall Sunday evening into Monday. When I hear the word snow, I am instantly on alert for icy road conditions. I automatically check the local forecast.
Waking up Monday morning, I knew the commute was going to be an event. Local law enforcement encountered many collisions. It seems many folks were driving too fast for conditions. Imagine that.

The Benton County Roads Department and others were sanding and clearing roads as best they could. They remind us to always slow down and to give yourself plenty of extra time to get to your destination safely. And, allow lots of distance between you and other vehicles.
