Main impacts where wintry precipitation does occur

• Down Power Lines, Widespread Electrical Outages, Snapped Trees or Branches, and Black Ice All Possible with Heavier
• Wintry Mix of Precipitation (Freezing Rain, Sleet or Snow).
• The cold ground temperature causes the precipitation to freeze upon impact, thus creating ice and slick conditions, especially on elevated overpasses and bridges.
• Black ice is feasible. Sleet and the refreezing of snow or rain water can also generate black ice, particularly Wednesday night after sundown.
• Stranded Motorists
• Disruption of Emergency Services
• Even small amounts of ice and snow can cause hazardous driving conditions.
