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