Fog Now, Ice Later? (UPDATED)

This morning's drive to work was less than fun, with heavy fog and a steady misting drizzle. Poor visibility, and heavier traffic than usual. Fun stuff. And now AccuHunch has issued a freeze warning for tonight.

Glad tomorrow isn't a workday; that drive would be ... interesting.


UPDATE: There is snow on the high peaks above town, this afternoon. This morning's drizzle is exactly the type of precip that turns white and flaky when the temps are a few degrees colder. Which they are, above 4,000 feet.

Rob, there's snow in the higher elevations, a bit farther inland. We expect to see a dusting on the peaks soon.

NFO, you know it. I don't expect any ice, but Mother Nature has surprised us before.

Next time, on Ice Road Truckers!

I sincerely hope not, Steve. It's too early to put the studded tires on, and we live on quite a steep hillside.
