Trooper Josh Robinson told WAND Monday morning, "We are seeing all across the state, but especially to the eastern part and the southeastern part, over around the metro-east, filtering up into Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, and it's working its way east... we are starting to see roadways that maybe just appear wet, but of course now it is actually ice."Â
"If you don't need to be out, just don't be."
