Snow arrives from south to north tomorrow and it could come down at a good rate shortly after it starts. The problem is, ice is likely to be a bigger issue for us. Ice totals (sleet & freezing rain combined) of 0.25" or more are possible. Hope for more sleet than freezing rain. pic.twitter.com/oX9H3t0QNx
