Hit different weather websites and they all say different things so I dunno.

Guess we gotta keep checking as this thing comes to life it's a very thin line between freezing and 33-34*F in my area. Could go either way. Annoying because of work. They already cancelled schools tomorrow out of caution. There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. |

Less than 0.25 inches Less than one-quarter inch of ice is generally considered a nuisance-type event. Impacts include minor power outages, light accumulations of ice on trees and car windshields coated in ice. However, even with only a light glaze of ice, driving can still be very dangerous because of slippery roads. 0.25 to 0.50 inches Between one-quarter and one-half inch of ice is typically a disruptive ice storm. There can be numerous power outages, some damage to trees and power lines and, of course, very slick driving conditions. More than 0.50 inches More than one-half inch of ice is considered a crippling ice storm. This much ice can cause severe damage to trees and power lines, often resulting in numerous downed trees and widespread power outages that might last for days. The most destructive ice storms produce ice amounts of an inch or greater. Reed Timmer Live It wont freeze south of missouri |
