Freezing Rain is the Worst. Freezing rain is more dangerous than snow, as ice can form on pavement. Watch out for falling branches and powerlines. Use extreme caution if there is, or recently was, freezing rain.

⚠️ @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social ⚠️
Compared to a typical snowstorm, freezing rain is much more hazardous — especially on the road.
Bottom line: be #WeatherReady and use extreme caution if there is, or recently was, freezing rain. @mococouncilmd.bsky.social @marylanddot.bsky.social #mdcommuters

Morning freezing rain and sleet N&W of DC, plain rain elsewhere, before temps rise above freezing everywhere after 9 or 10am. A spotty shower still possible through afternoon w/ highs ~40-45. Another round of rain arrives early this evening after 5pm or so.

Big warm-up on the way!
