Total snow or ice accumulation of up to 1 inch is expected, according to the National Weather Service. But the icy wintry mix could present the biggest problems.

Police were advising residents to use caution while outside or driving because roads and walkways are becoming very slippery.

AccuWeather says Power outages and slippery travel are likely to follow the area of ice up the Eastern Seaboard. As of midday on Saturday, approximately 400,000 customers were without power due to the ice in Virginia and North Carolina, according to AccuWeather.

AccuWeather says another winter storm is on the docket for the Northeast. Through Monday and Tuesday, the storm will encompass and persist across the Northeast, bringing a wave of snow.

A change to plain rain is most likely along much of the I-95 corridor, but precipitation is likely to start out as a period of ice at the onset in the mid-Atlantic and across southern New England, according to AccuWeather.

Still, enough wintry weather could happen to make for some very slippery conditions.
