Even trace amount of ice can create hazardous driving conditions.
Last week, snow flurries led to slick patches on several Clarksville overpasses, causing 10 crashes in a two hour time-span.
A Winter Weather Advisory continues through noon Sunday for much of the area for periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain.
The National Weather Service in Paducah issued a Winter Storm Warning through 9:00 am for Christian County, Todd and Trigg counties. That means significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
