JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - The snow may have stopped falling, but the roads are just as slick, if not more dangerous, because of black ice.
According to Meteorologist Bryan McCormick, snow that had melted Thursday froze overnight on streets and highways.
Happy Friday! Watch for slick spots this morning as yesterday’s snowmelt froze on sidewalks and staircases, along with untreated streets and highways. Bryan McCormick (@BryanAMcCormick) February 19, 2021
Meteorologist Aaron Castleberry spent the morning in the Region 8 StormTracker traveling area roads and highways. He said what might look like a wet patch on the road is actually black ice.
