Are you getting ice pellets/sleet or is it freezing rain? Hope You're not getting freezing rain that just coats the trees and power lines. At least sleet will bounce off the trees and fall to the ground. Down here it's just rain so far and it's still above freezing, for now.

We've got a mix of both. I'm about 30 miles north of JD, Drove home in it last night from work, it looks like snow on the ground, but it's really just several inches of accumulated sleet. Some of the scariest driving I've ever done, and I've driven tanks through the mountains in the dark during similar weather. Of course, in the tank your big worry is sliding off the mountain, last night my big worry was someone stopped in the middle of the road on an uphill incline, or some idiot in a 4 wheel drive who thinks that because he can still go 60mph, he should. Can't stop, though, can you? Gonna be an interesting day.

went for a walk, snow/sleet atop about 2" solid ice. Sounds like walking on a snare drum

Ours was rain through the night but it ended and the wind blew and the roads were ok. Then it spit just a little sleet after sunrise. We just missed it. Or it missed us.

We should have put this thread under what did you get today. Ours in the Richmond area started as light rain around 7:30 changed to sleet then about 9 to snow. We just came back from a walk and it is turning to solid ice on the street. Temperature has dropped to low 20s and is supposed to be single digit tonight.
