Icing

Light freezing rain did develop, and like I have been mentioning, it doesn't take much to cause icing on some area roadways. Lots of icy spots around parts of Stanly, Union, and Rowan counties this morning as well as parts of the Triad. In fact, apparently some emergency response personnel have said it could take up to an hour to respond to non-serious wrecks in parts of the area, simply due to the volume of accidents this morning. Temperatures are still close to freezing, so some icing issues could continue to occur through the morning.

Please use extreme caution out there this morning. Any spots that look damp or wet could very well be ice. SLOW DOWN, and increase your following your distance.
