...REMAIN ALERT FOR PATCHY BLACK ICE ON ROADS AND OTHER PAVED
SURFACES...

Lingering water on surfaces from rainfall on Sunday will create
patchy black ice on area roads into early Monday morning. Icy
spots could form on paved surfaces such as bridges and overpasses,
primary and secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks and
driveways.

Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces.
The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you
are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor
vehicle or to slip and fall.

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.
