Early March in Minnesota

We started the day with rain that froze on the trees and shrubs. It didn't photograph well, but it looked like permanent raindrops. Unfortunately, it also froze on all of the horizontal surfaces.

It melted by late morning. Then more rain fell. Places where there was packed snow (like parking spots in the street) became hazardous solid ice fields.

After dark, we had lightning and thunder as sleet or freezing rain came down, or it may have been that mysterious entity, graupel.

I am going to go out there and investigate what needs to be shoveled before it freezes overnight.
