Is it correct to say that It may turn the road to ice? The context is a discussion of icy conditions on the road.
A guy's Youtube (54:55) channel claims that it is not correct and suggests instead The road may turn icy.
I'm a little bit confused as it is not clear whether it is not correct for both American and British English or just for Americans. In addition, I have checked examples withSentence Stack.The query returned a couple of articles from American newspapers -(like The road was wet while flakes were falling but it did not turn to ice.
The icy conditions could turn parts of Denver roads and highways into black ice) and similar results from British and Australian resources.
