P.M. Commute: A Break, Then More Trouble

The light snow is beginning to taper off for a while. Might be a good time to make an early getaway, especially if you drove to work.

The break in the snow is likely to last for a couple of hours, but then the second system, the bigger one, is forecast to arrive in late afternoon. It will start with light snow, but then change to sleet this evening. That will give way to freezing rain later tonight, forecasters say.

Beware of the Wednesday morning commute as well: The icy precipitation is going to change to rain tomorrow morning, then rain will continue into the evening.
