As I drove through se NE things looked mostly the same everywhere. The only exception came near Dawson. There things were a bit thicker. Evidently this was the nw edge of the heavier precip, back in the coldest air within that band.

I'm not sure what this was. Some kind of taller plant and tall grass.

This is how much of a weather weenie I really am not. I don't even bother to bring a ruler. I was wondering enough though that I had to take a picture I could later measure. The distance from my finger tip to where my thumb has the ice marked is 1.25 inches. There'd been some pretty good melting going on throughout the day. This was taken in the late afternoon around 4. So there was at least an inch and a quarter on things here. Before melting it was probably closer to 1.5 inches. Not quite as thick as last year's event, but it tried.

The grass and plant in the above image show pretty well how thick it was here......THICK.

Much like last year.....freaky tall grass here. It sucks I was extremely tired by this point, after just finding the thickest area. I simply wanted to start the drive back home and go to sleep. The no sleep the first night, plus all the walking and driving around had just sort of built up I guess. Hell I'm still tired, several days after it started(putting all this on here has been a hair time consuming on its own).

This broken piece of grass was interesting. Evidently the top portion broke, fell over and caused another lower spot to break. So you can see how the vertical objects have no icicles, while the horizontal piece does. Ok, not that interesting.

Saw this nice sundog as I moved through the Wendy's drive through. Nice ending to a long, but enjoyable/memorable storm.
