It hasn’t been much, but pesky freezing drizzle, ice pellets, and snow grains have persisted in Cincinnati for almost 20 hours, producing slick spots and areas of very light icing. Conditions have improved this afternoon but temperatures still hover near freezing. More spotty icing cannot be ruled out after the sun sets. Temperatures are expected to warm over the next few days ahead of a weather system moving in for the weekend with rain.

Temperatures will continue to average above normal into the first week of February before winter makes a return.
