    temps were just a couple degrees higher than expected. Made a huge difference. Just a cold rain.

    This one was worrisome but appears to be lots less than predicted. There is some icing on the trees. Not sure if it is better or worst than the last ice storm that blew through last weekend. I did see some flicker in the lights earlier that had me worried. I got a bit of sleet earlier but it doesn't seem to be doing a lot at the moment. At the moment it isn't doing any melting; it would really be nice if the temps got above freezing.

    Non-damaging amount of ice on the trees and a cold drizzle. If it keeps up like this and gets just a little colder there is going to be significant damage but right now all is well. And the wood stove cares not at all if we have power

    It is warming up and there is water dripping from the trees so all is good. Hopefully the ice will be gone in short order. Just came back in and took a snap of the ice on the wire fence around the back veggie garden.

    I drove through it yesterday. From knoxville tn to Nashville there was a 20f temperature difference. Drove through freezing fog, freezing rain, sleet and snow. Got to middle IL and clear moon lit sky.

    We have a good .25 in of ice on everything out there now from the Wed-Thurs storm. Better than the .75 + in we had from last weekends. Still dont have power from the first one. Thank goodness this one hasnt done quite what they thought it would (at least as of now), still freezing rain for a few more hours. I am very happy that they "missed" some of the forecast. They were calling for this one to be even more devastating than the last, which was crippling.

    They didnt miss the first storm. Glad that they missed some aspects in terms of amount (for our immediate area) is and understatement.
