Residents across Rockland County woke up to dangerously slick conditions Friday morning, as black ice coated sidewalks, pathways, and front lawns. The nearly invisible ice has created a serious hazard for pedestrians, with only minor patches reported on roadways.
Officials are urging residents to use extreme caution when stepping outside, as the hidden ice makes slips and falls more likely. Homeowners are advised to spread salt or sand on walkways and driveways to improve traction.
Pedestrians should take extra care, wear slip-resistant footwear, and avoid rushing on icy surfaces. Stay alert and take necessary precautions to prevent accidents.
