.DISCUSSION... 

With Arctic air holding in place, snow and
ice melt will be minimum to none during this time. Temperatures 
will stay below normal into next week, so any melting will be 
limited. Fire danger is expected to remain low through the first 
full week of February. There is potential for another round of a 
wintry mix of precipitation during the middle of the week.
