Kurtz says even though the snow plows are clearing the snow from the roads, in many cases, those highways still remain slick, and cautious driving is advised.

The Highway Patrol officer says the deep, heavy snow caused many accidents, as well as causing several vehicles to slide into the ditch or median.
