You'll want to take it slow on your way to work this morning. Tuesday night's snow has left some roads in the Wichita area slick this morning. The major roadways have been treated, but you could find slick spots on side streets. There is also fog reported in Southern Kansas.

Sedgwick County Emergency Management said 111 accidents were reported from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday through 9:00 a.m. Wednesday. Eight of the accidents involved injuries.

Police cautioned drivers to avoid the area and to slow down. A reminder, while EARP is in effect if you are in an accident and no one is hurt, both cars are driveable and no drugs are involved -- exchange and fill out an accident report.

Accident reports can be downloaded online or you can pick one up at any police substation or Quik Trip.

The Kansas Department of Transportation worked to spread sand on the roadway.
