Slushee Ice Snow

Last night the weather gave us an interesting treat. Freezing rains mixed with snow probably made the roads a mess, but from the warmth of my bedroom, I enjoyed the sound of rain hitting my window. This morning there was a layer of what looked like a slushee across the ground. It wasn't a flat, shiny sheet of ice like we sometimes get, but a beautiful and unique ground cover. Here are two pictures of what was left on our back porch after the sun melted most of it.
