Are you ready for what’s coming? It looks like we’re in for a mix of freezing rain and snow later this week. Imagine you and your family planning Valentine's Day getaway out of the house. Now imagine getting outrun by a storm of freezing precipitation that may clog up your roads from Thursday. It seems like nature is pretty unpredictable. In the events where the coldest air was present in January, February or the previous years the area was shut down for some time.

The Bowels of an ice storm are being formed due to the local area's cold drought. Milder Pacific systems moving over cold dry air can cause this situation. The snow is most likely to fall in the Metro area and will be light in the valley.  The chance of freezes varies from Thursday morning to Friday.

The system will likely cause severe implications for individuals living in the metro area.

It turns out that, the best-case scenario is a light dusting of snow and the worst case scenario quite similar to the past events that took place. The metro area was shut that time for at least 2 days. People living in the gorge will be inoculated longer. This may be the worst possible situation for florists and bakeries this Valentine's Day.

There is some good news, though. Starting Sunday, things should be drying up and molded back to normal.

Watch Out, Freezing Rain or Snow Coming to Your Area!
