The Iowa DOT reports area roadways are up to 100% ice covered and may be slick. Travel from Marion County to and from Des Moines is particularly problematic. Tow bans are in effect in Polk and Jasper Counties. County and state plows are in operation. If you must travel this morning, take plenty of time to get to your destination, and give our road crews and first responders plenty of room to work. The one to count on for current road condition information is KNIA/KRLS.
