and overpasses, could be ice covered and
slippery even at an outside temperature
above 41 °F (+S °C).

flake" symbol (ice warning) does not ap-
pear in the display, black ice cou ld be on
the road.

specia l care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road surfaces increases.
