As is customary with every year's reintroduction of winter weather, traffic delays have increased around Metro Detroit with several wrecks blocking multiple lanes.

Windy and slippery conditions from an evening cool down will persist throughout the day, however, most of the precipitation that came overnight has moved on.

Left in its wake are several crashes along major freeways.
