All the short term computer models including the RUC are calling for the nasty stuff. Just curious to your statement, that's all.

I just went up on the second floor and glanced out the window at my car.
It looks like just rain falling, but the car has a white “frosty topping” on it.
NOT GOOD !!!!

It wasn’t even raining yet at that time.
The ride home is looking to SUCK-BALLS though.

I wish I had a camera at work.
When I went outside my car was covered with HUNDREDS of icicles and it looked like it was anchored to the ground.
Every panel had icicles leading from the body down to the ground every two inches or so.
At least a ½-inch thick coating easy.
Not too bad driving home.
The roads through town were mostly wet or “slushy”.
The last four or five miles through the hills were the only trouble spots because they don’t see much traffic.
I saw two cars that slid off the road, but no one was nearby so I kept going.
Tomorrow morning will be tough again.
