After several accidents took place earlier from snow and ice, MAJOR roads are o.k. this morning with patches of slush, especially bridges, overpasses, and exit ramps.

Secondary roads are slushy to snow covered and very icy, especially in areas that saw freezing rain and drizzle at the end of the snow. Two to four inches of snow fell overnight across the Upper Cumberland with three inches most common.

Areas of concern as of 8:20 a.m. central include:

Highway 70 North in the area of Cumberland Cove
