Looks the same here EJ. There is a thin layer of ice underneath what
appears to be sleet.
Antennas OK.

I see light ice on my wires. Doesn't appear to be any on yagis. F12 C3E not drooping at all. 33 degrees here. Supposed to be a factor until around noon.

Myself, K5UR, K5EJ, N5QS/N5QT, N5LKE, AC5AV and K1LEC are in the bullseye for a half inch of freezing rain/ice. That is catastrophic for antennas. It has been drizzling rain all day here and the temp only rose to 30 degrees. I already have a thin layer of ice on everything and the heavy stuff is scheduled to move in after midnight.
