Freezing Drizzle may cause hazardous road conditions tonight thru Wednesday morning

In the past couple of weeks we have tried to bring you the daily weather in a jovial fashion (except for that one grumpy forecaster we have) no matter what it brought. Whether it be snow with a smile, cold with a cuddle, or a thaw with warm thoughts.

Some forecasts you liked, some you didn't but, one common theme seemed that nobody wanted the ice so, of course, guess what we have for you today (more like tonight)!?! Yep, you guessed it...(we are so sorry!)...
