Default Using Dates in Conditional Formatting

Delete condition 2 and modify condition 1 like this:

=AND(G30,G3<TODAY())

I'm using conditional formatting to change the color of a cell to blue if
the
date entered in that cell is less than today's date. The formula works
fine
as long as there's any date in the cell. The problem is when the cell is
empty, it is also turns blue, but I would like it to have no formatting.
I
tried to fix this by adding a second condition, but it still didn't work.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? My conditions look like this:

Condition 1: Forumla Is =G3<TODAY() --- color is blue.
Condition 2: Cell Value Is equal to 0 --- color is no color
