Update: Base road status returned to green at 2:30 p.m. CET.

Roads on Army installations in the KMC are in amber status this morning, with black ice a particular problem on some roads in Kaiserslautern.

If you’re driving, be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and the roads under the overpasses, where black ice is likely to form.

Here’s some advice from the U.S. Forest Service:

“If you do hit black ice, your first reaction must be to remain calm and avoid overreacting. The general rule is to do as little as possible and allow the car to pass over the ice. Do not hit the brakes, and try to keep the steering wheel straight. If you feel the back end of your car sliding left or right, make a very gentle turn of the steering wheel in the same direction. If you try to struggle against it by steering in the opposite direction, you risk skidding or spinning out.”
