Overnight rain, freezing rain. Some areas no ice melt off. Precip to snow predawn. Then rapidly falling temps. Below 0 by mid morning on many areas. Windchills -30 to -50 by late morning and afternoon. Brutal sometimes it up.

“Temperatures in the 30s overnight until a powerful arctic cold front passed around 5AM bringing rapidly falling temperatures with a fine wind-blown snow. Temperature 33F at 9AM plunged to zero at 910AM and steadily down all day to -10F at mid afternoon and -14F at midnight. A very fine light snow fell all day with several brief snow squalls, all of which was often whipped into clouds of blowing snow to the height of the tree tops by strong winds. Easily passed technical definition of blizzard many occasions”~ Dave Lesher
