Are the roads expected to be bad again tomorrow? The sun is absolutely melting everything even with temps still well below freezing. Some of the roads seem to not only be thawed but also dried. But I imagine the raised interstate areas and bridges are taking longer to thaw and dry. This is all new for us around here so I have no clue if it will be smooth sailing tomorrow or not.
Just drove a bit. If there's sun on it, it's fine. Drying out and safe. In the shade, it's still white and frozen. There are going to be roads that dont thaw out. Schools will likely be closed. LSU is a maybe but if expect em to be open. Maybe a late open (10 am ish).

LSU's problem is that campus is surrounded by roads covered by trees. It's icy as frick right now.

For EBR, it will depend on if the interstate thaws out enough today. Any lingering moisture will freeze again when the sun goes down

Bingo. Airline? Fine. Mostly. Airline under I-12? Isaac Newton's taking over, so point and pray.
Getting through your tree-lined neighborhood streets or crossing lots of bridges? Hope your insurance is paid up or you really do know how to drive on ice.
I do have to say, though, that the drive was pleasant today. Baton Rouge's usual dumbasses (Except me. I was there.) are off the road. Everyone was just tooling down the road at 20-30 mph, even Airline, and making no abrupt movements and were speeding up and slowing down smoothly and in plenty of time.
It was downright enjoyable. At 30 mph, I still made my drive 4 minutes faster than normal.
