Road conditions per deputies, observations throughout the today, January 23 
We wanted to share with you the conditions our deputies have observed while working today. Please keep in mind that these observations have been collected throughout the day. This means conditions at this time may not be the same; however, once the sun goes down all will likely refreeze due to below-freezing temperatures overnight. This will increase the risk of black ice on all roads, especially in areas that appear melted and clear.
