But residents say this time is different.Live Bay Area weather updates: Hwy 17 reopens after earlier closure due to snow, fallen trees Highway Patrol is urging residents to stay off roads like this due to icy and dangerous conditions. CHP Officer John May says if you find yourself on ice, slow down to avoid a spinout.
"Just make sure that you're not reactive," May said. "Don't make any sudden turning movements. Allow your foot to come off that acceleration pedal and slowly apply the brakes until your vehicle comes to a complete stop."
