Ice covered portions of St. Lawrence County overnight and caution is advised on side roads, driveways, sidewalks that could potentially be slippery.

For people walking, many areas are covered with glare ice.

Drivers are urged to take extra precautions while driving and expect travel to take longer than usual.
