Freezing rain!

A review of the forecast from yesterday is in order.  My prediction was was not too far off, the precipitation did come around 1030 AM.  The rain did come down and then freeze as soon as it hit the ground making the surface extremely slippery.

The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 30 degrees F
Wind: 13 mph East
Real Feel: 16 degrees F
Dew point: 27 degrees
Cloud Cover: 100%
Precipitation: Freezing rain!

When I was outside, for a brief time, the wind was blowing pretty strong from the east and the weather was wet and cold.  The ground was just getting slippery as I was walking to my truck.

Here is a great satellite image of what is going on outside from Weather.com,


My forecast for later today will be a few inches of snow and then tonight some colder temperatures and then tomorrow we will see some more snow most lilkely and similar temps as today.
