BLACK ICE/RURAL ROADS HAZARDOUS MONDAY: TEMPERATURE PREDICTED -6 MONDAY NIGHT - Low Temps Breaking Records

(02/22/2015)

Weekend highways, certainly on all secondary roads, were icy and hazardous. A Black Ice alert has been issued for main roads Monday. Sunday the NWS issues a flood watch for the region for small streams. Monday's temperature will be about 18, with a Monday night low predicted at -E. Parts of West Virginia recorded record lows overnight last Thursday and into Friday. The NWS said every single spot in the state was below zero. Parts of the Mountain State appear to have broken low-temperature records. The official Charleston low was minus-17 at the National Weather Service weather station in Southridge. Other low temperatures recorded around the state include minus-15 in St. Albans, minus-19 in Madison, minus-23 in Sandyville, Jackson County, and minus-24 in Mount Nebo, Nicholas County. In Calhoun, some residents reported a -15 to -18. The cold could have been a factor in the deaths of two people in Logan County. State Police were called for an unresponsive man. When they arrived, they found Michael Mullins, 35, dead outside near a trailer. While on the scene, police also discovered Ashley Conley, 24, dead on the ground near the roadway. No foul play is suspected.
