Fort Wayne, Ind. (WANE) - Our latest winter blast is bringing a mix of rain, snow, sleet, and ice. Untreated roads are becoming ice covered and slick. Please use caution while driving. Take it slow on the roads and give yourself extra distance to stop. Reports from around the area show that there is a light ice accumulation on objects above the ground. Most of the roads are not freezing up due to traffic.
