Starting this afternoon...looks like south of Lincoln today it's going to be a freezing rain / sleet/ back to freezing rain / then snO event today through tomorrow. The ground is so cold that when the warm moist air over runs it, it's all going to freeze.
We sure get our share of freezing crap down here! lol
