Wind-sheltered valleys and part of the lower Treasure Valley will remain cold enough for freezing rain and up to a quarter inch of ice accumulation. Snow will change to rain at some lower elevations and along with a little snowmelt will result in more water and ice on the freezing cold ground. Winter weather advisory now in effect from 5 am Wednesday to 11am mst Thursday.
New fallen snow is pretty and fun to mush through in your vehicle. Ice is "different". Interesting to say the least. whistle
Most of it will blow over before it reaches the Twin Falls area. We might get a couple inches of snow and it's supposed to warm up over freezing for a few days.
It warmed up after the last big snow and melted enough to make a layer of ice when it cooled back down. My driveway has been nothing but ice for 2 weeks. It's been pretty rough on wildlife.



My driveway/parking lot at work has become an ice skating rink, essentially. Lots of fun trying to run forklifts or back in tanker trucks lately. eek
