Haven’t been able to measure yet but we definitely got ice. Trees are coated and power lines are sagging. Power still on. Temp at 30°

For sure. Everything is covered in ice up here. Lights have flickered on and off.

Been getting mostly freezing rain since the sleet with initial tstorm. Haven’t lost power thankfully!

Been hearing the crackles of water hitting the roof most of the night. Everything outside is soaked with a sad cold wetness like my cheeks as I cry longingly for a good snow event.
At least it's not ice!

Reed Timmer is live in Oxford, MS and it is insane. Trees down everywhere, everything caked in ice. Reed thinks 2" of ice fell there.

Yep, looks like MS got destroyed.

I saw that. I don’t believe they’ve had even an inch (yet) but it is still raining there. What he’s seen so far is not even close to what northern Michigan got last spring @ 1.5”. I can tell you that 1.5” of ice will look like a 50 mile wide EF2 tornado went through and I’m not exaggerating. Giant mature trees will be snapped in half. Power poles are completely toppled for 10s of miles and many will be snapped in half. A steel radio-TV broadcast tower of some kind was completely pulled down. They didn’t have power in places for over 10 days and I’m talking about a decent population like 100,000 people.

Here is a pic from that Michigan storm last spring.

I went to Mackinac Island last May. I could still see many trees down on the interior of the island despite the Michigan National Guard quickly cleaning up debris. The tree damage was also evident along I-75.
Can confirm, West Metro, we have ice on everything.

Matt Laubhan shared this photo on his live stream of a tree that fell on a utility truck. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but this shows how dangerous it is for power crews trying to restore power in Mississippi.

Had a loud rumble of thunder about an hour ago even this far north... lots of fairly heavy rain now and noting thunderstorms increasing in the warm sector. Interesting system.

My yard is under water and it is still pouring rain here. Once that cold front comes through later today, we will join the ice club. As long as the power holds, I don't care about being stuck so much, but hypothermia doesn't sound fun. (No, we don't have secondary heating or a generator. Can't afford it. Main reason I hate winter wx.)
Stay safe and warm out there, please!
