What is freezing rain and what makes it dangerous?
While all forms of wintry precipitation can disrupt travel, freezing rain is uniquely dangerous. A winter storm on Saturday, Feb. 8, will bring freezing rain to much of Delaware, particularly New Castle County. Some slight ice accumulations are expected in the area.
Understanding the dangers of freezing rain
Freezing rain creates perilous driving conditions. Unlike fluffy snow, which provides some traction, ice offers virtually none, leading to an increased risk of spinouts, jackknifed trucks, and multi-car pileups. Black ice, a thin, nearly invisible layer of ice, makes roadways even more treacherous, usually catching drivers off guard.
