Once it changes to freezing rain, I expect some ice build up here. Could get very slippery on the roads and sidewalks, hence EC's freezing rain warning.
Looks like a run of the mill freezing rain event. Rainfall rates arent too heavy. Temps will moderate by the AM.

Still it doesn't take much to make at least the sidewalks slippery. But yes this doesn't look like a major crippling ice storm like December 2017.
