Never know I'd say we'll see alittle freezing rain and maybe a dusting of snow.
Take em one at a time and everything else will take care of itself.

They were never really expecting much if any really from all the forecast discussions that I read. The low developed farther west than expected, thus allowing warmer air to be pumped in along with the cloud cover helping to keep to temps from falling too far overnight. The front still hasn't made it through the air yet, hence the above freezing temps. Most of the moisture will be out of here once it does also...soo..not much if anything...BUT, there's something else that everyone should be aware of...Black Ice forming from wet roadways and falling temps overnight.
