the temperatures are right there at freezing. you can go some places might be a little above freezing, some places a little below freezing. so if you go down the roadway and you see something that looks wet, maybe it's an elevated surface of roadway, maybe take your feet off the accelerator and just maybe use a lower gear. but slow down this morning. that's the key. get point a to point b safely. and also watch out for some dense fog in some of the areas. it will create some pretty dense fog in areas. so be careful. >> so just a few seconds left here. do you have trucks out on road were they out overnight doing what if they were out? >> we were out if full force and we're still out there now. we're in post-storm operation, so we're patrolling for any icy spots and we'll be doing some clean up and preparing for the next storm. >> like we all are over and over again. charlie gishler with maryland state highway administration thank you. 5:56.
