Not a good day to be flying over that terrain. Lost a friend years ago when his SH-60 iced up over the mountains coming back from NV.
Hoping they managed to set it down.

Those can and do fly IFR, and can do it on goggles. Kind of doubt they would try to scud run given the known weather on that day.
E versions have anti-ice but there was some recent discussion in mil circles that the system is problematic.
Maybe they iced up and were down low following the freeway for performance reasons.
