  3. There's a winter weather watch! According to a Patch article written by staff member Brian McCready, "a low pressure system will bring a wintry mix to the region late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Precipitation will likely start as snow, quickly mixing with sleet, before changing to freezing rain. Up to an inch of snow and sleet accumulation is likely, with a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch ice accumulation. This could make for icy travel conditions Wednesday night into Thursday morning."
