Beware Icy Morning Roads

At 12:30 a.m., the National Weather Service issued a freezing rain advisory for Bucks and Montgomery counties.

The advisory is in effect until 6 a.m.

The advisory calls for a tenth of an inch of drizzle that could freeze and create a thin glaze of ice on untreated surfaces. This may result in areas of hazardous travel along with slippery sidewalks. Bridges and overpasses tend to freeze up first, according to the Weather Service.

Be prepared for slippery roads, slow down and use caution while driving.
