Actually, to be accurate, the ice morning isn't coming anymore, it's here.
The Amherst/Pelham schools declared a 2-hour delay this morning. It's going to be interesting to see how that works out. Right now it's 31 degrees out, and we've got light precipitation in the form of freezing drizzle/rain. (The forecast says it's snowing lightly, but that is not the case on the east/south side of town anyway - we never did get snow from what I can tell.) Our front porch and walkway looks simply wet, but it's actually a sheet of ice - and our cars are also encased in ice. Temps are expected to slowly rise above freezing - to a high of about 39 degrees - by early afternoon. And, remember, even as the temps rise above freezing, the ground is still cold and frozen, so ice won't melt as quickly as the temp rises. Untreated surfaces are icy, so if you have to go out, take it slow out there.
