When are studded tires needed? What should I use tomorrow?

Hi folks...I was going to make an on the spot decision in the morning if I should ride in or not. Anyhow, I've made a bet with the guy at work that we will both ride in....unless one chickens out. So tomorrow is a must ride for me. Question... the weather is calling for RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS. Can I get by with my regular Marin 1" tires? Or Should I be safe and use my beater with studded tires? I don't know if there will be any ice. The temp will be above 0, but i'm not sure.
