 .DISCUSSION...
 Winter weather returns today with snow and ice accumulations 
 expected for some, while mostly rain will soak others. Weather 
 headlines are in effect today and Tuesday where impacts from ice and 
 snow are expected. The northeastern mountains and Greenbrier Valley 
 will see a decent amount of ice accumulations and related impacts 
 with this system.
 
 Rounds of rain then expected for the span of the week. A warming 
 trend will also commence Tuesday and into the weekend. Will have to 
 monitor for hydro issues later this week given repeated rainfall and 
 snow melt across the mountains.
