Slick roads in Bloomington Indiana this morning

I love the National Weather Service and all that they do. On the other hand, I would have posted a Winter Weather Advisory for central and southern Indiana last night for this morning. There were numerous accidents and slide-offs. There are also some delays to report:

Monroe County Community School Corp. schools will operate on a delayed schedule today. Secondary schools will begin at 10:00 a.m. Elementary schools will begin at 11:00 a.m.Milk Matters breastfeeding support group is cancelled today.

So what happened? Talk about a real definition of freezing rain according to the average person; that was what happened. There was light drizzle yesterday that fell in the form of liquid precipitation. As the temperature dropped, that rain froze on cars, trees and surfaces and then the rain changed to sleet. There were some areas of Bloomington where the sleet covered cars and some roads but not so much on the south side of town.
