Cold weather may turn Eugene roads into a “skating rink” on the morning of Feb. 5, according to a press release from the Eugene Police Department.

The National Weather Service has warned there will be colder than usual weather in the Willamette Valley and parts of Washington.

According to Melinda McLaughlin, public information director for the EPD, although conditions aren’t expected to be extreme, they are expected to be slick, which can be dangerous “if people aren’t thinking about it.”

The EPD suggests planning out routes in advance, avoiding hilly areas when possible, and to do a check of your vehicle before traveling. McLaughlin also stressed not trusting four-wheel drive to compensate adequately.
