Glazed roadways and walkways shrouded in fog greeted many morning commuters as they headed out this morning -- especially in the higher elevations.
Between three to six inches of snow fell in the area, much of it now in a slushy form, Senior AccuWeather meteorologist Tom Kines said at 9 a.m.
Throughout the morning, police were dispatched to accident sites in Lackawanna and the surrounding counties, though none appeared to be serious, 911 dispatchers said.
Drivers found their vehicles encrusted with ice. Walkers found their sidewalks slick. And many school districts delayed or canceled classess.
While the main roads are mostly wet as this point, back roads, driveways and sidewalks may be icy. The snow that stopped late Monday returned this monring, as did an icy sleet, so later commuters may still encounter freezing roads and fog.
Motorists were being advised to "stay alert for changing travel conditions and reduced visibility" in the Scranton/Pocono area, according to PennDOT's 511 travel information for the turnpike, which can be checked at check: http://thetimes-tribune.com/traffic.

The sun will rise today at 7:07 a.m. and set at 7:14 p.m.
