Capt. Chris West with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the drizzle caused several wrecks in the metro.

"People are losing control and flying off the road," West said. "We just need people to slow down."

Roy said Oklahomans should be careful this morning while walking and driving in the weather.

"This ice is quite deceiving right now," he said.
