After a brilliant red sky sunrise the skies rapidly clouded over, a bone chilling southeast wind was in place. Snow broke out mid to late morning with a rapid covering and from then on it was a Snow, sleet, Snow , sleet, freezing rain transitioning every hour. Roadways very treacherous with the sleet, as it wants to pull you once you get off the tracks in place.
