Lovely surprise during a sleet shower

The sound of ice pelting the window suddenly startled me. However, I noticed the sun was still shining low in the west, so I headed to the backyard that faced north/northeast and this is what I found...

Such a gorgeous shot, and the sleet that caught the light looks like stars instead!

Two rainbows arc across a stormy sky,
One a fainter echo set against blue-grey clouds
Ice shines like th'eternal stars winking through
And autumn-flamed trees below capture the late sun
Only a Michigan sky in October can yield.
