The melting snow and sleet is expected to refreeze this evening when temperatures plummet again, according to a special weather statement from the National Weather Service.
“This will create areas of slippery black ice, especially in places that have not already completely dried, or places that have remained shaded through the day,” the statement reads.
These areas include roads shaded by trees or overpasses, or any place on the shaded north side of buildings.
“If you must be out this evening, be ready for the sudden re-freezing of snowmelt water and the formation of black ice,” the statement says.
Slushy snow will become icy and hard. If you’re driving, SLOW WAY DOWN before encountering icy spots. Put extra space between you and surrounding vehicles.
Houston County officials urged people to stay home after 5 p.m.
