Two observations for this event...one of the metrics that I use for identifying how warm/cold things are just off the surface is the Camp David (KRSP) AWOS.  It sits at an elevation of 1,841 feet which can give you a hint as to what temps are just off the surface.  Right now it's sitting at 28/16, while Frederick (FDK) and Leesburg (JYO) are at 37 degrees.  To me that's a good sign as it shows it won't take long to get down below 32.  Another point is the Road Weather Information System (RWIS) temp sensors that I have access to at work are showing road temps at 38 - 43 degrees...that's off a regional average of around 50 degrees yesterday.  Having the thick cloud cover today really muted the sunshine and it's ability to keep the road temps up.  Should be a good deal of slippery spots tomorrow even on the well traveled roads.

Fwiw, if we can score on this, it would be nice - it has been a slow start a lot of places, to wit (per Matt Lanza on twitter):
