Highways 163 and 5 to Des Moines currently have greater amounts of snow than areas to the southeast, and bridges may be icy. County road crews are in operation. An additional .5 to 1 inch of show is expected, with blowing snow this afternoon. The one to count on for up to the minute road condition information is KNIA/KRLS.
