It's the worst possible forecast you can have at this time - a threat of significant (you never want to hear that word in a weather forecast!) icing in the middle of a pandemic.
The current forecast for my area hints at sleet with some light freezing rain for tonight into early tomorrow, which could produce a light glaze on bare outdoor surfaces - like streets and highways. A more potent wintry mix delivering even more icing - possibly icing of catastrophic proportions - for Tuesday - has been in the forecast, but more recent reports seem to be backing away from this idea and suggesting plain rain that doesn't freeze on contact. (Kentucky and Virginia haven't been so lucky, having both gotten sever ice storms already.)
So, even as the COVID virus is killing all of us, we have to deal with a winter Armageddon. The endless cycle of storms should last another week and shut down after that, but the many rounds of bad winter weather we've been having these past couple of weeks only remind me why February has always been my least favorite month.
