Special weather statement

There is a Weather Statement in effect for our area this morning: Light mixed precipitation of snow sleet and freezing rain. The rain will continue to spread from southern New Hampshire across southern and central Maine and to the mid coast during the morning hours. This may create patches of icy roads. Motorists should use caution traveling during the morning commute. Allow extra time to reach your destination. The mixed precipitation will also cause some icy spots on sidewalks and parking lots. Pedestrians should also stay alert to slippery conditions. Cold temperatures and a cold ground will allow for frozen and freezing precipitation this morning... but eventually warmer air will arrive pushing temperatures above freezing late this morning and this afternoon causing the precipitation to change over to rain.
