Statement as of 6:09 am EDT on March 12, 2015

Slippery spots this morning with continuing possible squalls Due to the combination of refreezing snow melt and scattered snow squalls slippery conditions are expected to develop this

morning. Slippery spots are already developing on some roadways parking lots... overpasses... and driveways. Motorists and pedestrians are urged to use caution.

Brief visibility reductions to under a quarter mile and snow

accumulations of a half inch to one inch of snow in a short amount

of time are likely with these snow squalls. Any areas still above

freezing as the squalls move through will cause the initial

snowfall to melt... and then quickly freeze as the temperatures

drop. Therefore slippery spots are expected to develop this

morning. The scattered squall activity should sweep offshore soon

after daybreak.
