Pretty amazing how these modeled historic events get watered down at the last minute. I'm already up to 0 C although I'm not sure how much I trust this cheap thermometer.

I'm guessing those ice bombs are just going to be something that motorists will need to deal with going forward, considering they have yet to find a proper solution.

Big win for #TEAMSNOW on these trends.
