We had a total of about 12 inches of snow accumulation here in Duvall from the previous two snowfalls, and all night the temperature only rose from 24-degrees to 26-degrees. The twist here is that it was raining the entire night! So the instant a raindrop landed on something, it turned to ice. The results were strikingly beautiful as well as somewhat hazardous.
