Between 3 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday, Rock County deputies responded to 80 runoffs and 17 traffic crashes in rural areas, according to a news release from the sheriff's department.

None of the victims sustained serious injuries, the release said.

Traffic on Interstate 90/39 is moving at slow to moderate speeds. Stretches of the Interstate are ice-covered and slippery, as are parts of other roads in the county. North and south roads are especially dangerous, the release said.

A blowing snow advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. and a wind chill advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. for Rock County.
