What a difference 3 degrees makes.
A mix of rain and snow is greeting metro residents this morning. Temperatures have been hovering around 35 degrees this morning. If it was just 3 degrees colder at the surface, our wet morning commute could be a traffic nightmare. We can be thankful for small atmospheric favors this morning.
