Sunday Ice...

For those who are staying up late:
Snow to ice possible on Sunday, which happens to be the first day of meteorological spring.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM SUNDAY TO 3 AM EST
MONDAY...
 
* HAZARD TYPES...SNOW...SLEET...AND FREEZING RAIN.

* ACCUMULATIONS...A COATING TO 1 INCH OF SNOW AND SLEET ACROSS
  WASHINGTON DC AND SOUTHERN MARYLAND. 1 TO 3 INCHES IN THE
  NORTHERN AND WESTERN SUBURBS OF WASHINGTON DC. ICE ACCUMULATION
  AROUND ONE TENTH OF AN INCH.

* TIMING...SNOW WILL BEGIN BETWEEN 7 AM AND 10 AM SUNDAY MORNING.
  SNOW WILL CHANGE TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN BETWEEN NOON AND 3
  PM SUNDAY AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION WILL END AS FREEZING RAIN
  SUNDAY NIGHT.
 
* WINDS...SOUTH AROUND 5 TO 10 MPH.

* TEMPERATURES...RISING THROUGH THE 20S MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL
  RISE INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 30S SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY
  NIGHT.

Due to timing, it seems like this will mainly be a low impact event, but depending on how well the cold air wedge holds, (Cold air tends to not like moving) we could be in for surprises.

My call:
Snow beginning around 10AM changing to sleet/freezing rain by 3PM
Snow: Up to 1 inch accumulation
Ice: Up to .2 in accumulation, mainly in areas out of the sun and possibly tree branches.
