Trees stand covered with ice on Lavery Lawn on Monday, Jan. 15.

About half an inch of freezing rain fell in the Rochester area Sunday night into Monday morning, covering the Fisher campus, like much of the city, with sheets of ice.

Pittsford was among the hardest-hit areas, along with the towns of Chili, Gates, Ogden, Henrietta and Canandaigua. The results of the storm were readily apparent, as several tree branches on campus were downed by the weight of the ice.

More than 17,000 electrical customers lost power throughout the city. Slippery roads also led to several minor accidents in the area, although no serious injuries were reported.
