"We are forecasting a wintry mix for Saturday; 
a mixture of Snow, Sleet and Freezing Rain. 
Travel hazards will primarily by from accumulations of
2 to 4 inches of Snow, along with a light Ice accretion.
Visibilities will be 1/2 mile or less in the snow, mainly in the early morning. 
Snow begins early Saturday morning and the heaviest Snow,
likely mixed with Sleet and Freezing Rain, will be in the morning.
Snow will taper off in the evening. 
This wintry mix will cause hazardous travel conditions due to
reduced visibilities and Snow and Ice covered roads. 
Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities and use caution while driving." ~ National Weather Service
