Freezing rain falls as liquid but freezes and builds up on cold surfaces like trees and power lines. If enough of it builds up, it brings them down. This is especially true of pine trees, which start to bend over with enough ice, then eventually snap. The smell of pine in the air is one of the most memorable things about an ice storm.
 
I'm just not even excited about this storm anymore. I went from 2 feet of fantasy snow to freezing rain. A historical snowstorm to a pain in the rear power grid devastation. Honestly, if I can't at least get sleet from this, I'd rather it just fizzle out.
 
For me, I always feel like I want ice until the Ice actually happens. But there is also the nostalgia factor with ice. It takes me back to 2002 and the sites and sounds from that one which was an event I’ll never forget. Ice is extremely destructive.

Bc it’s extreme weather and it’s fun that’s why most of us like weather

I feel the same. Having an interest in extreme weather is really a double edged sword. You hate to see some of these things happening but it is also fascinating. We can't control the weather at the end of the day though so might as well make the most of it. If we get a massive ice storm I will be outside documenting it all lol.

Or just trend to rain and 33. The ensembles show a lot of those solutions.

An ice storm that widespread and destructive would be very unlikely imo. 2014 looked that way at a week out and trended colder and only the southern edges had extreme ice. Imo this either trends to rain or more sleet than ice except on the southern edges.

We know where this one is headed #coldrain

I mean you might as well just close school for the entire day. It's not like it's going to be that much warmer after 2 hours !

Best post you have ever made! I said the exact same thing this morning! I mean real temp was -18to -20, might warm up to -12 to -15 in two hours of full sun!
 
So the average high in Dubuque is 35 degrees now. I guess that makes this impressive!?6543F745-B37B-4139-B4FD-1D9F83484ED7.png
