I mean as far as the inability for your tires to gain traction on the roadway. So, they need to reduce their speed, just like the would in icy conditions, lengthen the distance between you and whoever's in front of you, slow down in curves. I mean, almost, it's much like winter weather driving," said Gunnoe.Gunnoe said to keep an eye on the sides of the roads and any sort of ponding with leaves in it.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
