Varsity Singers equipment truck and trailer experience icy roads
The Ada Exempted Village Schools has reported that the Varsity Singer equipment truck and trailer went off the road on SR 235 near the VFW this morning, March 4: "All are ok and no students were involved. The Varsity Singers have canceled their trip to the Solon competition."
There are road closures from overnight flooding and the possiblity of black ice.
While the day's forecast looks promising (mostly sunny, with a high near 45) for areas north of Ada, the National Weather Service issued this warning:
...Slick and Icy Roads Possible Overnight (March 3)... With wet and slushy roads tonight across the area from the earlier snowfall and rainfall, roads already in many spots are hazardous with several reports of vehicles sliding off of roadways.
Overnight lows will fall into the upper 20s and lower 30s which could freeze the wet surfaces making them even more hazardous in spots with black ice development and even freezing the slushy wet snow further making for very slick surfaces, especially over bridges and overpasses.
Definitely recommended to not travel if possible. If travel is necessary, be sure to slow down and leave plenty of stopping distance in front of you in case you need to stop suddenly. Be safe out there.
