It's a good thing the temp is slowly warming, as it's about to start getting pretty bad.  Trees are accumulating a nice amount of glaze now, and the winds are very intense.  Getting consistent gusts well over 40, possibly pushing 50 at times.  Temp is up to 31.6.  Should be above freezing in an hour or two.

 

Good thing the temps didn't start a degree or two colder, or this really would have been a serious ice storm.

Just drove from Lake Geneva, WI to Independence, IA. Left about 6:45am - got home around 11:00. Perfect weather would be a 3 1/2 hour trip, so a little delayec but not terrible. Hit sleet/pellets in Beloit about 7:15, then alternated between light snow, sleet, and freezing junk until past Dubuque. Mostly snow the rest of the way. Roads not really bad until the last 30 miles. Snow w/mixed sleet here - appears to be at least 3 inches.
