PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Prescott authorities are urging people to stay off the roadways because of the weather and if you must travel allow more driving time.

Streets tend to be icy early in the morning and at night. Authorities suggest waiting until the snow and ice melts later in the day before heading out.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety says overnight and morning low temperatures are expected to cause a hard freeze, making highways extremely slippery. They're encouraging people to use snow tires or vehicles with all-wheel or four-wheel drive.
