| (02/16/2003) |
 3 AM SUNDAY - Ice was covering roads, trees and lines in Calhoun County starting at midnight. Tree limbs and some lines were down at this hour. Road conditions EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. "This is by far, by far, the biggest of the season and potentially very much more hazardous," said John Victory, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston. A mixture of winter weather has developed across the region this evening. Freezing rain along with some sleet and snow are making travel difficult.
