The wider storm

Rains of 0.5 to 0.8 inches fell with surface temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees. A quarter to a half inch of ice accumulated. Roads were not as icy as sidewalks, since most roads were previously treated. Ice accumulated the most on vehicles and trees. A 40 year old female was killed in Huntington around 0830E when a large tree fell onto a vehicle. She was the front passenger of that vehicle. A few power outages also occurred.
