Flurries began around 10 a.m. across the county. Capital Weather Gang (CWG) predicts snow and sleet may continue into the afternoon. CWG said icy areas could develop during the afternoon because temperatures should be around freezing. However, Montgomery County and some nearby jurisdictions will probably become mostly rain by the late afternoon, CWG predicts. State Police reminds residents to be careful while driving during Wednesday’s wintry weather.
