30.8° F with light freezing rain. It was pouring earlier at 31.2° F. There's definitely some accretion going on, but it doesn't seem too efficient with the heavier rain as it tends to drip off the trees before freezing. There is some sagging on the birches, spruces, and firs, but it doesn't seem too bad yet. 

The lighter rain and drizzle accretes much more efficiently, plus with less latent heat release from heavier rain, temperatures may drop back a little. This is why we will likely accrete more overnight.

That's interesting because the 1000' station in Union is reporting 33°. Must be localized...
