Snow is falling this morning. The forecast as of 7 this morning calls for 2 to 4 inches to fall. So far, streets -- including the bridges -- are in good shape, but be prepared. Remember to slow down a bit and increase your following distance.

• Stay about 200 feet behind road clearing equipment; crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice.

• Allow extra space between vehicles to provide adequate distance for braking.

• Be aware of "black ice," which looks wet on the roadway but is a thin layer of ice.

• Be patient, plan trips ahead and allow extra time in reaching destinations.
