Temperatures across the region will fall below freezing this evening, then drop into the mid to upper 20s by daybreak Sunday. The cold temperatures will freeze any meltwater or slush on untreated surfaces tonight. As a result, many roads, sidewalks, or driveways will remain hazardous with packed snow or black ice. 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. && $$
