Significant snowmelt yesterday, combined with temperatures

form on untreated ground surfaces across portions of eastern New
York and adjacent western New England.
Motorists traveling early this morning should allow extra time to
reach their destination and be prepared to encounter patches of
black ice. Bridges, overpasses and highway on and off ramps will
be particularly vulnerable to patches of black ice. In addition,

for pedestrians.
