Snow is supposed to move through the state starting in the morning hours, but the biggest concern from officials is the potential for icing on the roadways. Temperatures are expected to peak in the low 30s and them drop into the teens at night. This could cause the precipitation in the morning and afternoon to ice over and cause travel problems for a lot of the state.
