Roads Are Icy In Outlying Areas

I'm in a bad mood because this is the first time I have to say this for the year: slow it down out there, it's slick on the roads. I was doing some running around in an outlying area this morning and the roads were icy already! I was quite surprised to see that, although its to be expected this time of year.

Apparently there were several accidents caused by the conditions, including a driver who was ejected from a vehicle and seriously injured in a rollover accident on U.S. Highway 395 near Hatch Road. The Spokesman-Review has the story.
