Wednesday, 11 p.m. | Our reporter Asya Lawrence was out in front of the station showing that the rain has continued to come down, and drivers in Lansing were traveling well under the speed limit due to road conditions.
The road conditions are icy in DeWitt, and our Chief Photographer Russell Shellberg went to a nearby gas station to show those conditions. What would normally be a quick trip took 13 minutes.
Finally, Lauren Shields was on her front porch in Mason showing the ice accumulation.
Wednesday, 7 p.m. | The freezing rain is continuing to come into the area as the sun sets.
Asya Lawrence is right outside our station off of Interstate 496 where the road conditions are slushy, and thankfully, she isn't seeing a ton of cars.
Our reporter Lauren Shields is outside her home in Mason, and she says it has warmed up a bit since her last update by about 2 degrees. Because of that, the roads are more slush than ice, but as temperatures drop, that slush can refreeze causing icy roads.
Finally, our Chief Photographer Russell Shellberg is up north in DeWitt where it is sleeting. Clinton County is under a winter storm warning until 4 a.m. Thursday.
Wednesday, 5:30 p.m. | Our Chief Photographer Russell Shellberg lives in DeWitt, and he gave an update about the road conditions north of Lansing.
