ATLANTA -- After oveight temperatures dipped into the teens and 20s across metro Atlanta, black ice complicated Friday’s moing commute.

"Anything that melted out there oveight refroze. No doubt about it," Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist David Chandley said.

Residents were cautioned to drive carefully because black ice cannot be seen.

”If you saw surface street icing yesterday, you are likely to see it in the same places this moing, Channel 2’s Mark Arum said.
