As I write I've got about 1.5" of wet snow with the temperature hovering around the freezing mark. Even though I salted my driveway last evening, it's snow covered, but temps haven't been cold enough to freeze the slush (yet). Slush is perfectly slippery, but I'm not anticipating any trouble getting down (cautiously) in AWD. Highs will go above freezing (even if just a little), so we should have some road clearing later today. Problems come in tonight if not enough melting takes place on Apple Creek Road.
Bands of intermittent snow showers will continue today...radars don't look impressive this morning, but a lot of the bands are under the radar beam and not readily visible. Light accumulations are possible if the bands are heavy enough.
Bitter cold moves in tonight and locks in for a couple of days. Tender vegetation will take a nasty hit. Any snowy or icy areas will stay put, hence the heads up if roads don't clear adequately today.
