60-Degree Tuesday, Then 0-Degree Thursday Night

Weather just doesn't make sense anymore. What machinations of the gods could possibly explain how temperatures this week are forecasted to drop 60 degrees in less than 48 hours?

Whatever the reason, it can only mean one thing when a load of rain is followed by a snap freeze: ice, and lots of it. Better drive really, really carefully in the latter half of this week...

Here's your weather:

Monday: Cloudy with a 40 percent chance of rain during the day, cloudy with a 70 percent chance of rain at night. Mid 40s during the day, high 40s at night.
