Neighbors Report 'Black Ice' Near Claremont Hotel

Low temperatures and possibly a poorly located drainage pipe contributed to the formation of patches of "black ice" on Claremont Avenue, near the rear gate to the Claremont Hotel, local residents reported on a neighborhood email list Monday.

At least one accident resulted when drivers lost control at the slippery spot, the reports said. 

Drive carefully in the area on frosty mornings!
