It's not snow but freezing rain that's marring the Monday morning commute as highways and freeways are littered with crashes and spinouts. A pileup involving as many as 10 vehicles led to the closure of northbound Hwy. 100 to eastbound Interstate 394 on the border of St. Louis Park and Golden Valley. Drivers were advised to find alternate routes after the incident happened just before 6 a.m. "The freezing rain may produce a thin layer of glazing on untreated roadways," the National Weather Service said in issuing a special weather statement.
