BOISE, Idaho — Overnight snowfall has left roads across the Treasure Valley slick Friday morning, posing a problem for drivers on their morning commute.
Officials closed both the inbound and outbound Connector due to the icy conditions. Both were treated and reopened by 9:30 a.m.
Dozens of crashes and slideoffs have been reported, both along Interstate 84 and on surface streets. Dispatchers said that since 4 a.m., crews have responded to a total of 47 slideoffs and wrecks in Ada County.
So far, most of the crashes have been minor, with occupants avoiding any serious injury.
Drivers are advised to slow down and use caution during icy conditions, allowing plenty of space to stop or change lanes. Everyone on the road should also do their best to move over for emergency responders and wrecked cars on the side of the road.
A Winter Weather Advisory will remain in place until 5 p.m. Friday. Meteorologists have predicted as much as four inches of snow could fall in the Treasure Valley, with up to ten in the mountain areas.
