There has been a well-advertised storm en route/here. The forecast is very vague something like “periods of rain, sleet, freezing rain, and snow.” Repeat for about 3-4 days and add some strong winds at the end. The predictions were from 1-3 inches of rain, freezing rain, or 12-30 inches of snow.
Today, first came freezing rain to coat the branches and power lines, followed by rain that knocked the ice off all the branches.
