A bit of freezing rain is expected overnight. Crews will be out taking care of slick spots but needless to say, take it slow if you go out. And if you're drinking, needless to say, don't get behind the wheel. #ArlWX www.arlingtonva.us/Government/D...

Crews out taking care of any slick spots. As always, if you must go out during a winter storm, take it very slow. And remember, no plowing until 2 inches down to protect road surfaces and equipment. Seems an unlikely accumulation today. #ArlWX
