The warning is still in place for Highway 97 and the Pine Pass.
“Travel conditions will be your normal winter driving conditions that we often see this time of year with the snow and some rain mixed on top, we will have the slush conditions with overnight temperatures hopefully staying above zero,” added Keetley.
