I'm headed to the Lehigh Valley tonight (Friday). Just wondering if anyone out there is noticing problems on the roads. Here's a view of I-76 near City Ave. around 3:30 p.m.

The roads are wet, but not too slick. The biggest hassle is the slush and mist coming off other cars.

I live in South Jersey, but last week I made the trip up and back on the NE Extentsion to Rochester,NY and nothing can be as bad as last week. The roads were very icy and there were major potholes resulting in a few travelers, including us, to have flat tires.

Thank goodness we paid a driver to take us up and back last week.

Doug,

Thankfully it's nowhere that bad tonight. The only concern is over the next few hours when the temperatures drop. We're out here, and we'll see what happens.

Hey John, I'll be driving up to the Poconos around 1:00 AM tonight. I saw that you have a long commute back to the station. Maybe you can update me on the road conditions so I know what to look forward to!

Well, they were actually taken on my cell phone, but it's all I had at the time. I'm going to try to do this more often when I cover weather so we can give more immediate conditions.
