Well, if it's freezeing rain at least we know it's cold out ;D. I think the freezeing rain makes the ice surface much rougher and can be a pain it the neck for dragging purposes and drilling.If it's gonna rain i think i'd perfer  a wet rain so it acts like a zamboni( hockey rink machine) and smooth out's the surface. Soild ice is better than having layers of different make up. just my 2 cents. Stay On Top, Utes

The weather report just looks bad for the immediate future.Freezing rain may be better, but no rain would be the best.And a few more days like this.COOOLD
When the ice is on. I'm on the ice.
