As Drew expertly predicted yesterday (see next post below) , nearly everyone awoke this morning to fog, drizzle, or low clouds. At my house (1600 ft - 7 miles NE of Ozark) we had freezing drizzle most of the morning. After nearly a full night of the freezing drizzle the trees were actually weighed down but it provided a nice picture.












I soon checked the visible satellite image to see the extent of the clouds and I noticed a few mountains peaking above the clouds including Mount Magazine and within 5 minutes my wife and I were out the door hoping we would make it to the mountain before the clouds burned off.














The entire drive to the mountain was cloudy but once we got to the mountain and passed above 2000 feet we suddenly burst out into clear blue sky. The temperature was also about 10 degrees warmer at the top than at the bottom! In the clouds and fog there was still ice on the trees and even a bit of slush on the road (temps were just above freezing at that point) but once we were in the clear at the top most of the ice had vanished and temperatures were well into the 40s.
