.DISCUSSION... 
Temperatures will stay below normal this week, but we will see
some gradual warming which will promote snow and ice melting. Any
meltwater may refreeze at night as low temperatures remain below
freezing. Fire danger is expected to remain low through the first
full week of February. There is potential for additional rounds 
of wintry precipitation Tuesday into Wednesday and again Friday 
into Saturday.
