Areas of black ice have developed overnight and accidents and spin outs are being reported. Black ice will continue to be a problem for several hours until the sun can begin to warm the pavement later this morning.

Black ice is frost or ice that has formed on roadways and bridges that is very difficult to spot. If you encounter any ice, let off the accelerator, do not hit the brakes, and keep the steering wheel straight. Sudden movements or changes in speed can cause the vehicle to go into a skid.
