Black Friday: Patchy Ice, Snow May Slow Early-Morning Surge of Shoppers


Icy spots are likely early Friday morning in the wake of the Wednesday snowstorm in parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England. In these areas, melting and refreezing of piles of snow can lead to areas of black (clear) ice. Cities to watch out for icy spots include Boston; Portland, Maine; Albany, New York; Hartford, Connecticut; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Most road surfaces should have dried off around New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., in the wake of the Wednesday storm, but icy spots are possible in the northern and western suburbs created from the piles of snow left behind.
Early morning shoppers on Friday may encounter slippery roads, parking lots and sidewalks on their travels from Michigan to Minnesota and Montana. Snow in this swath on Friday will bring a general coating to an inch or two.
