KENT COUNTY, Mich. — Kent County Road Commission crews are applying a sand and salt mix to state roads and county primary roads in advanced of forecasted freezing precipitation Friday evening.

The Commission says ice storms making driving difficult whether roads are treated or not, so drivers should stay home if possible.
