Visibility is 1.5 miles/2.4 Kilometers with light snow and overcast down to         2,200 ft / 670 m

We have had percipitation in this area over the past 24 hours in the form of ice and snow of just over 3 inchehs, so far, and it is still coming down.

Be careful out there folks, driving is real miserable.
