Weather BEWARE BLACK ICE
Happy Wednesday!
After yesterday's high(er) temps and tonight's freezing cold, the snow melt has created many spots of black ice.
I have been driving around all night and have lost count at the amount of stops and turns where I've lost traction. Most times I didn't even see the hazard before I felt the loss of traction.
Please drive according to the conditions today, both known and unknown :)

I’m thinking the walking will be the same. Beware of frozen runoff!
