Dangerous Roadways--
As the sun rises on a brisk and painfully cold 10° Minden, the celebrated thawing of yesterday has created a newer more dangerous situation.
Black Ice
Black ice is patches of frozen roadway that is almost indistinguishable from the rest of the road, but extremely slick. These patches can cause spontaneous loss of vehicle traction to even 4WD and AWD vehicles.
Temperatures are not set to finally climb above freezing until around noon. Please continue to limit travel until the roads thaw again.
Today the danger is not what you can see , but what you can't.
