Freezing rain makes for treacherous driving, especially on Highway 2 near Marias Pass

Freezing rain overnight has resulted in treacherous driving conditions. Many side streets in Columbia Falls and other towns up the line are ice-covered.

U.S. Highway 2 from the Bad Rock Canyon to Marias Pass is ice-covered in places, particularly the closer one gets to the pass.

Chains are required for towed units.

The weather this weekend is calling for a continued mix of rain and snow, with a few inches of snow at pass levels today, while the valleys see a rain-snow mix.

Next week is also expected to be wet with a chance of rain and snow everyday.
