[ARCHIVED] 1/8 - Winter Weather Advisory Is in Effect until 7 p.m.

From the National Weather Service:

* WHAT...A wintry mix with freezing rain and sleet is expected.

roads and bridges, including during the evening commute on
Monday. A light glaze of ice is expected.

* WHERE...Northern Maryland, eastern West Virginia, and the
northern and central Shenandoah Valley.

* WHEN...From 11 AM to 7 PM EST Monday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Even if air temperatures rise above
freezing, the ground and other surfaces are still extremely
cold due to the recent Arctic blast. This increases the
likelihood of a glaze of ice on surfaces.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads.
Slow down and use caution while driving. The latest road
conditions can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
