...Light snow to affect travel through mid-morning...
Light snow has overspread the area this morning. Snow rates are not
heavy, but they are enough to cover area roads and cause slick
conditions and reduced visibilities.
Drivers should allow for extra time to reach their destination this
morning. Speeds should be reduced on the snow covered and slick
roads. Also, give yourself extra distance between you and other
vehicles on the road.
The snow will taper off by later this morning, and allow roads to be
treated and improve this afternoon.

...Snow to spread across the area early this morning causing
slick roads...
At 4 AM EST, Light to moderate snow was spreading into northern
Indiana and far southern Lower Michigan mainly north of Highway
30. Visibilities will likely drop below 1 miles at times over most
areas. The snow should end or diminish to just flurries by early
afternoon. Many rural roads in open areas remain slippery in spots
from recent snowfalls. Given very cold pavement temperatures,
unplowed secondary roads are likely to remain slippery into the
afternoon.
