Freezing rain is the most dangerous of winter weather events, as it causes extreme slipperiness and is devilishly hard to predict. It appears only in a very narrow range of circumstances, which may not be known far enough in advance to warn affected communities. One degree can make the difference between sleet and freezing rain; or between freezing rain and plain rain. Our region might see all three precipitation forms Wednesday night and in the early morning of Thursday.

If this verifies, please prepare to avoid being on the roads from Wednesday night (start time anywhere between 7-10pm, west to east), and early Thursday morning. There might be a 2hr delay for schools on Thursday. The National Weather Service has called for an Ice Storm Warning for West VA, western VA, MD and PA, and a Winter Weather Advisory for the DC area at those times.
