Motorists are urged to use extreme caution this morning with the icy road conditions.
Police say there are multiple roads that are completely covered in ice.
There have numerous accidents and spin-outs reported this morning in Lakewood, and several injuries reported as well.
Traffic around town is also heavy due to the 90 minute delayed opening busing schedule, and many more cars on the road carpooling to school.

Has anyone seen a plow out salting yet? Are they waiting for spring?
Kudos to the schools that followed the BOE and had a delayed opening.
Why my kids school felt that it had to prove its frumness by deciding LAST NIGHT that school would open at 9AM sharp with no transportation is beyond me. Quite frankly, I think it displays a callousness towards my families safety, At least wait until the morning and see how things pan out before deciding!
saw salt truck on South Lake Drive this morning!
Salt trucks? Anyone?
schools should have followed the delay! parents should have waited for the buses.
Be careful! Almost hit a car this morning. Was only going 10 mph and hit the brakes at least 50 feet from the car in front of me.
2 cars behind me would have hit me if they didn’t go on to shoulder. Corner of Vine and Spruce is ice.
Cuation??
u never HIT the brakes on ice. U Pump The brakes on ice. OMG. if u arent sure how to drive safely in snow and ice, PLEASE DONT!!!
And so many still think they can drive like regular and they are above nature!
Delayed opening doesn’t help if the streets aren’t salted/sanded! As of 1:52, I’m still waiting for a truck to come down my block/area.
Where does our taxes go why is Lakewood the only one who doesn’t plow .howell is beautiful roads
To #6. Thank you for your critique of my driving. Perhaps it makes you feel better and superior to get that out of your system.
I have extensive experience driving in snowy winter conditions. I am from the midwest and travel to snowier climates often. The road that I was on a sheet of ice on slight downhill without a trace of sand or salt pumping or hitting th brakes would have made no difference
90 minute delays have to stop because the condition on the roads don’t change 90 minutes later especially if the roads weren’t salted. It adds more traffic and chaos. A lot of buses don’t show up and if they do it’s way past 2 hrs. Our children are freezing outside. In this weather especially, our children are safer on their buses rather than in a car, minivan etc. Today was ridiculous!!!
if anyone in the DPW is reading this, can you please take a drive down Forest Ave? That road has HUGE craters!! for such a heavily travelled road, maybe you can give it some priority?
Mr.Michael Stewart was called by Lakewood pd around 10:00 pm and he called his supervisor to let him know about the situation, his supervisor then called Mr.Arrechi and his answer was to wait until the next day at 7 in the morning. We the workers at dpw can’t go to work unless we get the ok by any of the supervisors. But we are the ones always getting blame for everything, why not blaming the supervisor in charge of making the decision? They are the ones making six figures $$$$$
