Hello Everyone.  I contribute nothing but I love lurking, so I hope you will forgive me if I ask a question-   I am tucked in along the western part of the Bay between Annapolis and Baltimore.  I think I am in a pretty good spot, and we have a watch for 4-8. However, my weather app simply says freezing rain for sunday and monday? Can anyone help explain that?  I haven't seen long duration freezing rain called for by any of the models over the last several days. . . ?  Thanks!!!

Don't use generic weather apps. Listen to NWS.

Therein lies the difficulty with apps and websites (and even newspapers to an extent) that are limited to a single icon to define the day's weather. It may well mix in between snow batches, but this has never looked like a long-term, infrastructure-crippling ice storm.

thanks. . . I figured but I wanted to get an expert opinion on this before I told my friends that we are getting inches of snow!

Ignore that. When the first round shuts off, warm air moves in above but precip will be paltry. I suppose in your hood that round 2 could start as freezing rain but even then.... unlikely. For our area to get legit freezing rain it almost always involves primary low pressure remaining dominant and tracking west of us. This storm will be the standard snow, dryslot with drizzle and maybe inconsequential zr, followed by praying you get a reach around with round 2
