Snow causing slick roads, traffic backup
Updated on: 01.31.13

Flurries that had been falling all day finally stuck at around dusk, and in the 6 p.m. hour, callers to Brown County dispatch are reporting slick roads.

Before 6:30 p.m., emergency responders were on the scene of a rolled vehicle at State Road 135 North and Railroad Road. County officers reported traffic backing up 135 North.

Flurries are expected to continue overnight with the low temperature dropping to 8 degrees. Friday's temp is expected to top out at 22 degrees under sunny skies.

7:40 p.m. UPDATE: An officer who's on his way to a report of a multiple-vehicle crash at State Road 46 East and Nelson Ridge reports "at least 30 cars" off to the side of the road along the highway.
