Icy mix may trigger slick Monday morning commute in central Appalachians

Just enough snow and ice could occur across a portion of the northeastern United States to trigger travel headaches during the Monday morning commute.
Roads and sidewalks have become sufficiently cold in the wake of an Arctic push for even a light wintry mix to stick and create a slick glaze on untreated surfaces, especially at night.
Travelers may need to allot extra time to reach their destinations and should use caution over bridges and overpasses.


The system that spread a chilly rain and areas of snow and sleet across the lower Great Lakes region on Sunday will push eastward to start the new week.
A mix of snow and sleet arrived in the northern mid-Atlantic and interior Northeast on Sunday night, and is expected to last into Monday, AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok said.

NE regional 11/13
“While a heavy accumulation is not anticipated, just enough snow and sleet or freezing rain may occur to glaze some roads and sidewalks,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
A large portion of Pennsylvania as well as western and central New York state, and the high terrain of West Virginia and Maryland could face a slippery Monday morning commute.
