 +----------------------------------------------

IEM Freeze plot for Wednesday morning shows an area of light precipitation falling in an area just above freezing with air and pavement temperatures. Today begins a three day period of very nasty winter weather with a blizzard watch now posted for Thursday.  This storm will probably not produce as much ice as the last, but the second wave will probably produce more snow!
