What an active weather day it has been across the entire area. From rain and snow to sleet and hail we have had it all. I actually heard a few rumbles of thunder near Ozark as the heaviest sleet moved through earlier this morning. Here are a few pictures from Northern Franklin county where most places have at least half a inch of total accumulation from freezing rain, sleet, and snow (as of mid-afternoon).

Snow pellets from earlier this morning on top of sleet and freezing rain













I am sure I am not the only one to notice how worked up the birds were today. This Northern Flicker was just about psychotic looking in its continuous quest to find food before the ground was covered with ice.














About .20 of freezing rain accumulation on telephone lines from early morning freezing rain and freezing drizzle during the afternoon













Here is what the county roads look like in Northern Franklin county. The combination of sleet and freezing rain/drizzle has made many secondary/county roads across the Ozarks pretty slick.
