Thin sheets of ice, called black ice, may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy. Motorists are advised to use extra caution. Allow ample distance between yourself and other vehicles, to avoid the risk of a collision if slippery conditions are encountered. Allow a little extra time to reach your destination safely.
