Starting this past weekend, Washington has been getting slammed with snow and ice storms. We had a day off of school for MLK Day and the only school we've had all week was the 4 or so hours on Tuesday because of a two-hour delay. Everyone anticipated no school on Wednesday because the news (like always) had winter weather advisories for basically all of Western Washington. I woke up Wednesday morning to about 4 inches of perfect, powdery snow. It was exciting for a few hours before I realized that I'd be stuck in the house all day. 
By 4PM, the Puyallup School District had already canceled school for the next day due to the ice that would probably be covering the snow overnight. I woke up Thursday morning to tons of Facebook posts about people's power going out and trees falling in the middle of streets. Our precious snow storm had turned into an ice storm.
As you can see from the picture, my poor car that sits in the driveway 24/7 turned into a virtual popsicle. There were little icicles all over it and the doors and windows were even frozen shut. This didn't really affect me, though because I'm not allowed to drive in these weather conditions anyway. Not that I particularly want to. That's a recipe for disaster. The trees and bushes were also covered in icicles, making for really cool pictures.
