City of Houston OEM on road conditions

Road conditions are still being monitored across Houston for ice and snow. Brian Mason with the City of Houston OEM has more details on concerns for those driving.

What they're saying:

"Roadways became very challenging last night. We had several major accidents along the roadways," Brian Mason, emergency management coordinator with the City of Houston Office of Emergency Management, said on Wednesday. "We are going to warm up today. We're going to get into the mid-40s throughout the day. But if people could please help us out, stay off the roads till 10, noon would be ideal, but till 10 or 11 in the morning. So we have a chance for some of this black ice out there to melt."
