Morning commute in Genesee County better than expected; lots of school closings

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan -- Driving down I-75 in northern Genesee County into downtown Flint, the roads were a bit slushy, but easily passable.

Most cars on the expressway were cruising along at about 50 mph, although some brave (or perhaps foolish) drivers were going faster.

I-475 also was clear with no major icy spots. The biggest danger on my commute was a clogged drain under a bridge in downtown Flint that had partially flooded the road.

Roads in downtown Flint remain not yet plowed as of 7:15 a.m., but still easily passable.

Still, drivers need to exercise caution: Police have been called to four crashes since 6:30 a.m. in Atlas Township, Forest Township, Montrose Township and Thetford Township. There are lots of reports of downed wires also coming in.

Many mid-Michigan schools have called off classes for Wednesday. You can find a complete list as schools announce cancellations by using this link to ABC12 WJRT
