All the snow created a lot of slipping and sliding out on the roads Sunday.

This kept tow trucks and snow plows quite busy, especially in Suttons Bay and Traverse City where the snow came down really hard.

Grand Traverse County Road Commission tells 7&4 that they have all their crews out clearing the roads. 

Manager of the Commission Mary Gillis says that drivers need to keep a few things in mind when navigating through this heavy wet snow.

Gillis says, "With this heavy wet snow...just slow down because you can get caught up in the ridges of it if we haven't gotten there yet. Also stay away from the plows because their really spraying this heavy wet snow and it will cover your windshield and you won't be able to see."

She says that crews will be out then next couple days to make sure that the roads stay clear and safe for drivers.
