(WXYZ) — With freezing rain and ice expected to hit metro Detroit on Friday, we sent both of our crews to check out the road conditions across the area on Friday morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 4 p.m. for all of Southeast Michigan due to the chance for freezing rain and ice.

Earlier this week, we spoke with Craig Bryson, a spokesperson for the Road Commission of Oakland County, who said the county has all salt truck drivers on standby for the storm. He said crews are ready to respond as conditions deteriorate.
"What we are anticipating that when it begins in early morning hours on Friday, we'll call in our drivers and get them out salting," Bryson said.
Road crews will use a combination of rock salt and liquid brine to treat roadways during the storm.
"That increases the efficiency of the salt. It makes it work more effectively, more quickly. It also helps it work down at a little lower temperature," Bryson said.
