Overall this storm has behaved about as expected. The most difficult aspect of the storm has been trying to get a handle on the precipitation type for the metro, and we knew that would be the case. We've had rain, snow, and thundersleet in the metro over the past 24 hours.
Want some really good news? The sun will return and 60's to near 70 are likely next week!
