Today is a First Alert Weather Day

So far this morning, sleet, freezing rain, and rain have mostly been reported in the area, with light icing occurring in Eau Claire. All of this activity stems from a strong and messy spring storm in the Central Plains that will slowly trek northeastward through the day.

1. We are in it here in the Twin Cities.

It mainly looks like sleet and rain, but I see some ice here and there so that is an issue.

I have already warned my buddy in Buffalo.... incoming!

2. Ice is an issue here also--no cars on the roads --which is good--ice is horrible for driving

3. Being from North Carolina, we know about ice.

That is the usual winter precipitation there. It can be managed only with extreme care and skill.

And, as we here all know, most drivers do not have it.
