Temps too high for snow to stick, but there might be some ice
By Will Collette
Our winter weather continues to be worse than it has been in several years. The National Weather Service forecast for Charlestown calls for daytime temps above freezing, continuing the melt, and nighttime temps a little below freezing.
Lots of precipitation on the way mixing rain, snow and freezing rain. Very little snow accumulation is expected. But roads could get sloppy nonetheless, especially if we get even the slightest amount of ice.
The pattern of snow that doesn't stick alternating with freezing rain that might is expected to continue through Monday. The NWS says we will see sunshine on Tuesday but weather just below freezing and brisk wind.
As it stands, NOAA is forecasting a 35% chance that Charlestown could get 0.01 inches of ice. While those are good odds for us, just the tiniest amount of black ice could put you in a world of hurt. So please be very careful.
