Both are right. If you're thinking of "snow and freezing rain" as one item in the forecast, use "is". If you're thinking of them as two separate items, use "are".

  • Both are right.
  • If you're thinking of "snow and freezing rain" as one item in the forecast, use "is".
  • If you're thinking of them as two separate items, use "are".
