lulub...., your post is a "cut and paste" of an article written by Ryan Haggerty of the Journal Sentinel. Give credit where due.

"Motorists should not travel in Rock County tonight unless absolutely necessary, according to a news release issued by the county sheriff's department.

Roads in the county are becoming ice-covered, causing drivers to lose control of their vehicles, the release says.

Road conditions are expected to worsen as freezing rain mixed with sleet continues to fall tonight, according to the release. The precipitation is expected to change to snow by Tuesday morning.

Ice accumulations could be up to ΒΌ inch thick, the release says. Anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow could fall by Tuesday night, according to the release, which cites the National Weather Service."

Schools closing early? For what? Some drizzle?

I'm looking out my window and can see the ice building up on my van. I'm in Beloit.

I just got home after a 30 mile commute from Southwestern Walworth county to Janesville. I would say "good winter driving conditions".
I won't predict what it will be like in the morning though.

Is it even doing anything outside yet? Not that I can see. Hopefully, this storm will arrive late and leave us early.

hannah, it says under description, what they mean by other. Like Milton did not get out early or cancel school, but all athletic practices are cancelled for the evening.
