Despite the frigid weather from the weekend, the next storm heading for the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area will bring a significant buildup of ice.
As an area of snow moves into the region, temperatures will rise into the 20s F on Monday, Presidents Day.
An extended period of sleet and freezing rain will occur during Monday night. Travel will be difficult, if not very dangerous. A buildup of ice on trees could lead to power outages.

During Tuesday, winds from the south will allow temperatures to climb well into the 40s, following the single-digit readings from Sunday morning. A change to plain rain will occur.
Enough rain can occur to cause travel delays and poor-drainage area flooding.
