The top picture is of our living room windows when we first got up this morning. The ice is just now, at noon, melting off on the windows on the south and eastern sides of the house. I couldn't make out the temperature on the thermometer outside the kitchen window (2nd picture) but the weather station was registering 27.6 degrees. Now it's up to 34, and the windows have cleared enough so I was able to take pictures.
I measured 1 inch of new snow and .84 inch of precipitation in the gauge this morning, but there was a crusty frozen layer under the snow, and at 9 a.m. we were getting sleet and pretty strong gusts of wind that made the icy branches rustle and crackle. We haven't had any power outage so far, but can't rule it out as there's still some wind and lots of ice weighing the branches down. Click photos to enlarge.
