Rocky is Upon Us (can't you hear the theme music in your head?)

Are we having fun this morning? Storm "Rocky" is upon us, raining hard at the moment on top of last night's thin but hard layer of ice/snow over everything. I assumed it was pure, melting slush until I saw a plow going down our street about half an hour ago. Plows are generally not sent out for pure, melting slush. Sure enough, when I went outside just now, I realized appearances can be deceiving - it's more like a layer of ice/sleet on the ground, hard and unforgiving. Even so, it won't be that way for long. The temp right now is 35 and climbing up to around 41 degrees today. Rain and some mixed precip will continue through early Friday. We may get brief snow showers as the rain mixes in with sleet and snow early and late on Thursday, but no significant snow accumulations are expected. Still, go easy outside this morning - especially on untreated side roads and walkways, this coating of ice/snow on the ground will be treacherous until it melts.
