Special Weather Statement issued January 22 at 5:11PM EST by NWS Columbia SC

There has been some melting snow this afternoon but as temperatures quickly fall below freezing tonight, expect any lingering water on roadways to refreeze. This could create hazardous travel conditions especially on secondary roads, bridges, and overpasses. This is more likely to occur in the eastern Midlands and CSRA where the higher snowpack is located. Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces. The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor vehicle or to slip and fall.
