..PATCHY BLACK ICE A THREAT INTO THE MORNING COMMUTING HOURS
MINIMAL DRYING OF SUNDAY'S RAINFALL AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPS WILL
CREATE PATCHY BLACK ICE ON AREA ROADS, BRIDGES, OVERPASSES,
PARKING LOTS, SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS, AND OTHER PAVED SURFACES.
THESE THIN SHEETS OF ICE MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE, ESPECIALLY
DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. THEY MAY APPEAR TO BE WET SPOTS ON THE
ROAD. MOTORISTS WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME DETERMINING WHICH SPOTS
ARE JUST WET AND WHICH ARE ICY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF YOU PLAN TO DRIVE OR WALK, REMAIN ALERT FOR BLACK ICE. SLOW
YOUR DRIVING SPEED AND USE CARE WHEN WALKING ON SIDEWALKS,
DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING LOTS. SLIPS AND FALLS CONSTITUTE A LEADING
CAUSE OF INJURIES DURING WINTER WEATHER.
