What the National Weather Service wrote

Freezing rain combined with wind caused multiple trees to fall and power lines to fall.

The wider storm

Two rounds of mixed winter precipitation moved over the area with warm air aloft overriding a deep layer of cold air at the surface. This resulted in sleet initially that transitioned to freezing rain before temperatures eventually increased above freezing. Several areas saw nearly an inch of sleet combined with around one half of an inch of freezing rain. This resulted in thousands of power outages and substantial tree damage.
