Freezing Rain Friday

There is a winter weather advisory just north and west of MoCo(as a whole). There is a special weather statement for the whole county though. It says that there is a 30-50% chance that there will be freezing rain tomorrow, but the NWS map shows almost no ice accumulation(at all) in the county except for 1 small area. The only places who have any chance of getting freezing rain(in my opinion) is people who are in Gaithersburg to the Damascus area(basically the northern half of MoCo)(maybe Northern Rockville).  And even if there is freezing rain, it probably won't last long enough to cause issues at all or not accumulate at all.
If this was snow, I would give this 1 snowflake, but since even a small amount of freezing rain can cause lots of issues, I will give this 1.5 snowflakes(35% chance of delay). We will get a delay if we get lucky and the cold air lasts long enough for the ice to stay for a while.
