Ice impacts

Ice totals are still expected to range between 0.10–0.20" for most areas. That puts us firmly in the impactful, but not crippling category. 

Untreated roads will be slick, and a few isolated power outages can’t be ruled out. 

Temps take aim at freezing around noon, allowing the ice to slowly melt through the afternoon.

What's next:

The weekend starts quiet, then turns milder with rain and near 50° Sunday, before a swift return to winter. Cold air dominates next week with a few snow chances, though no major systems are showing up at this point.
