Showers and drizzle over sub-freezing temperatures are resulting in a glaze of ice on any untreated surfaces this morning. Accumulations won’t be that high (another 0.1 to 0.15 of an inch) but the glaze of ice will make getting around today treacherous, especially this morning. Temperatures will warm a bit going into the afternoon hours, shifting the focus for freezing rain and/or drizzle in far northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas for the afternoon and evening hours.
