The NWS-Philly and NYC offices just issued advisories for almost all of the Philly-NJ-NYC area (counties in blue) for this morning for likely glaze of ice on all untreated surfaces due to light freezing rain/drizzle ongoing now and likely to persist in some locations through about 10 am (in SNJ/SEPA) and up until maybe noon or 1 pm N of 276/195.
We're only talking about a few hundredths of an inch of rain freezing on sub-32F surfaces, but given that all surfaces - even paved ones - have been well below 32F for 2 days, any rain that falls will freeze instantly on such colder surfaces, at least until the sun is up and traffic warms up the roads.
Sidestreets, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots are especially likely to be a bit icy. Not everywhere will get the precip to cause icing, but enough locations likely will to justify the advisories. Be careful out there.
