				beginning to look a lot like winter. In what is becoming an 
				annual event, the first day of December produces inclement 
				weather. The previous two years, the day was met with ice 
				storms. Today, due to warmer temperatures, we might be spared 
				the ice, but roads and walkways are slick and treacherous. The 
				National Weather Service has advised motorists to be careful on 
				roads today.

				hold Sunday's snow as rain and snow makes for a wintry mix.
