roads that have not been treated. If you are walking outside,
watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and
driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing
your risk of a fall and injury.
Road and sidewalk conditions should improve later Monday morning
as temperatures warm to above freezing.
