Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:24PM EST by NWS Wakefield VA
With temperatures dropping well below freezing tonight into Monday morning, black ice development is likely as wet roads freeze. Roads may therefore become slick and slippery, especially on untreated, secondary, and back roads. Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing roads that have not been treated. If you are walking outside, watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. Road and sidewalk conditions should improve later Monday morning as temperatures warm to above freezing.
About
Occoneechee State Park's picnic shelters provide excellent group gathering spaces along the shores of Buggs Island Lake (John H. Kerr Reservoir). The park offers two distinct shelters: Shelter 1 accommodates up to 35 people and is situated near a playground with a trail leading to lakefront views, while Shelter 2 is universally accessible and can host up to 100 people. Both shelters include electrical outlets and lights, with modern restroom facilities nearby. The shelters are available for rent from the first weekend in March through the first weekend in December, operating from 8 a.m. to dusk. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-933-PARK. The park also features a non-reservable shelter near the Splash Park for casual day use. Parking fees are separate from shelter rental costs, and users have access to the park's 22 miles of trails, boat ramps, and recreational facilities during their visit.
