Freezing Drizzle, Icy Conditions In Lorain County: Advisory

AVON, OH — A winter weather advisory has been issued for Lorain County after a night of light drizzle and freezing temperatures have left roadways icy and slippery.

Drivers are being warned to take to the highways with extra caution on Wednesday. Much of Northeast Ohio has been been covered in a thin sheet of ice overnight, so commuting anywhere is a hazardous trip.

The winter weather advisory will expire at 10 a.m., when temperatures are expected to begin rising above freezing. The road conditions should improve before the evening commute.

Temperatures will drop again overnight, with lows in the 20s expected.
