<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 22-person City of Columbia Public Works plow crew plans to report early Friday morning, at 5 a.m., Jan. 17, to continue treating roads ahead of forecast winter weather conditions. Crews pretreated </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">hills, intersections and curves throughout the community today, Jan. 16. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even with pretreatments, widespread slickness may occur before or during the Friday morning commute. Motorists are urged to drive with extreme caution, allow plenty of time for their commute or delay travel if slick road conditions occur. The forecast calls for some combination of a wintry mix, sleet, snow and potential ice with forecast rain to follow later in the day.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go COMO, Columbia’s public transit system, is currently scheduled to maintain its regular fixed route and paratransit services on Friday, Jan. 17 and Saturday, Jan. 18.
