Now is When Things Start Getting Interesting

The storm is starting to strengthen rapidly now and as a result, the precipitation is getting extremely heavy with the storm, and this will be moving into our area starting now. In addition, the temperatures will start dropping rapidly as the low-pressure area that is rapidly deepening will pull the cold air into our area. The rain will start changing to snow from west to east across our area over the next few hours. The winds will also increase and the temperatures will get below freezing, so the roads will also ice up later tonight. The temperature is already down to 39 at my location and it is dropping rapidly.
