Texas Has a Website That’ll Tell You if Your Road is Iced Over

(Tyler, Texas) - As you wake this morning, one of the first questions you'll have is if the roads are safe to drive on. The snow and ice we got will certainly make things very treacherous on the highway. You'll also see many posts online of people asking about road conditions.

The best advice is to just stay home until the thaw begins. There may still be one of two slick spots but at least the ice will have started to melt once the temperatures get above freezing. Luckily there is a website that can let you know, in real time, if your road is currently impassable.

The Website to Find Out Road Conditions in Texas

The website is drivetexas.org and it has a plethora of information regarding the roads in your area. This information could be for a real time event like an accident that is slowing traffic to construction in a particular area that could slow your commute.

For this bit of winter weather, you can use the website to specifically target any ice and/or snow that could be on the ground. Using that information will help you determine if it will be safe for you to get out onto the roadways to get to work or get to the store.

Be Safe During Any Severe Weather

We are not strangers to severe weather in East Texas. We're more familiar with tornadoes than snow but will get the occasional winter precipitation that'll last for a couple of days. Use drivetexas.org to help determine if you can make a safe trip wherever you need to go.
