Minn. officials warn of slippery roads

- The worst of the weekend storm is over, but Minnesota officials are still cautioning drivers to slow down on slippery roadways and avoid driving into piles of snow.
Minnesota Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Gutknecht says travel conditions throughout the southern half of the state are considered difficult, but passable.
He says the snowplows have cleared most road state roads, but drivers need to watch out for piled snow, particularly at entrance ramps.
State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske says Monday was very busy, with many people driving too fast for the conditions and losing control. He says dispatchers rated the volume of calls a seven out of 10.
The National Weather Service is predicting another 1 to 3 inches of snow will fall Monday on east-central and southeast Minnesota.
