An ice storm warning remains in effect for St. Lawrence County through Sunday at 7 p.m., with freezing rain and sleet expected to drop a half inch to an inch of ice over the North Country.

Occasional light freezing rain, mixed with sleet and rain, is expected to continue Saturday morning, becoming "all freezing rain and sleet" by this evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Icefall is likely to be "heavy at times overnight...before tapering off" Sunday afternoon, the service says.

The service is warning of hazardous travel conditions due to ice covered roads and low visibility. Visibility is expected to dip below two miles. "Significant amounts of ice accumulations will make travel dangerous or impossible. Travel is strongly discouraged," the service says. "Ice accumulations and winds will likely lead to snapped power lines and falling tree branches that add to the danger."

Scattered power outages are also "likely" tonight and Sunday, the service says.
