November 21-22 ice event.

Ice accumulation November 21st.

A complex weather system brought freezing drizzle and snow across the area this past weekend making for very dangerous travel. Some news outlets mentioned it was the worst for ice accumulations in quite a few years. The storm came off guard to some late Saturday Night as rain started to fall from the sky. At my location rain around 11PM Saturday Night the 20th, even though the temperature was well below freezing at 27.F, Freezing Drizzle, heavy at times accumulated up too a tenth of an inch of ice on everything, making roads and sidewalks very slippery, even our gravel road was slick and I slipped and nearly fell while taking the photos above.

Ice on White Pines Nov 21st.

The freezing drizzle continued into the 21st before eventually things warmed up enough for rain. This ice storm was not damaging, but glazed everything in ice and very bad driving conditions is how this effect people quite a few car accidents were reported. As many knew my graduation part was on this date and was significantly effected by this ice, quite a few people ended up canceling because of bad road conditions. 1 1st responder truck left the building next door to the one we rented for the party with it's lights flashing and distance sirens could be heard as we first got to the building. Monday the 22nd more freezing rain fell early when the temps were near 30, then things finally turned to snow during the late morning hours. Snow accumulated to near an inch at my location, which was just enough to make brown spots that formed on the lawn over the past week white again. By 11pm winds picked up out of the NW and temps lowered to 18.F with wind chills near 7.F, which is quite a drop in temps.
