...FALLING ICE DUE TO MELTING IS CAUSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
SITUATION...

TEMPERATURES WARMING TO JUST ABOVE FREEZING AND LIMITED SUNSHINE
AT TIMES IS CAUSING ICE THAT HAS ACCUMULATED ON BUILDINGS...POWER
LINES...AND TREES TO START TO MELT. AS A RESULT...LARGE PIECES OF
ICE ARE FALLING TO THE GROUND. THE MELTING AND FALLING OF ICE CAN
ALSO CAUSE TREES AND POWER LINES TO SPRING BACK QUICKLY.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BACK BELOW FREEZING
TONIGHT...BUT ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE AGAIN EXPECTED ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

IF WORKING OUTDOORS...BE AWARE THAT FALLING ICE CAN BE A SERIOUS
HAZARD. USE CAUTION IF WORKING UNDER TREES...POWER LINES...AND BUILDINGS.
