Your walkways are icy and later tonight when temps go below 32 degrees a dusting to an inch of fluffy snowfall will not adhere to the ice below – use caution as hidden ice with the wrong “footwork” can be injurious.

Best break comes in Wednesday afternoon-night and into the first part of Thursday before snow moves in Thursday afternoon
