As expected, freezing rain moved in overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning. Though it didn’t created massive headaches there were enough problems to be aggravating.

Above, on Afton Mountain coming down into Waynesboro along Route 250 traffic was stopped for a bit due to limbs falling into the road.

In addition to the freezing rain folks got an unusual event with thunder and lightning as well.

Numerous power outages were reported in the Waynesboro area due to limbs down on power lines.

As temps warm throughout the afternoon the freezing rain will change to plain rain with temps warming rapidly into the upper 50s by mid afternoon as winds shift to the south.
