ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy, not sure if you remember, I was concerened about this, almost 1 week ago. Not kidding, had a bad feeling about it....

Looks like main preip will start between 1AM and 4AM tomorrow early AM and last 6 hours ( main stuff, 6 hours ) - So I expect most of the major stuff to be out of here by 7AM to 10AM.

All areas could start off as a quick burst of snow and sleet - Then sleet, but, most of this will be freezing rain, which is the absolute worst!

I am still holding on to hope, that some dry air tries to cut down ice amounts, but, I am not feeling confident on that. When it comes to this, I am also hoping sleet lasts longer than some of the data shows, which woudl help cut down big time on ice amounts...I would rather be a bit high to be safe, then to go low because of what I hope, and have people caught off guard!

Yellow - Mainly sleet and snow, with some freezing rain - Still wont be fun, but, do not see MAJOR ice issues here, although, roads will not be pleasant.

Red - .2" to .4" of ice- Yea, this is not too good here guys.. Not at all- Only blessing, at this moment, the winds should not be too bad. But, its not just the wind, it is the weight of all that ice that snaps power lines... No school looking very likely!

Purple - .3" to .45" with some spots possibly going over 1 half inch of ice. PRAYING this does not happen, but, there is truly an outside shot of this. Again, hoping sleet stays in the picutre longer than anitciapated here as well. I would be SHOCKED if any school is open in this area....

There you have it.. As always, I will keep an eye on this and look at radar trends and short term data later this evening. I will post an update between 11PM and midnight, before it starts!

I am more than blown away, many of us are not in a Ice Strom warning, I have said it for 2 days now. Advisory doesnt sound serious to me. I think MANY will get over .25" of ice, we should be in a warning.. Take this serious please...

Praying I report later that the dry air may win and reduce these big time, but, not hopeful. Have a great day and God Bless!

Just something to watch.

SnowFreaks!!! I mean, IceFreaks! All new data is in.... Yea, well, hmmmm, not looking great!

Below is what 80% of the data is showing. Time frame as of this moment would be from 1AM Wednesday AM through 1PM Wedensday afternoon. Of course, this may change, but it gives you a heads up.

Below is what you can expect for ICE amounts at this moment, will be updating twice a day. Lets hope this changes!

Yellow - up to .1" of ice - Lowest risk of serious ice damage.

Red - .1" to .25" of ice - This could casue some major issues in spots, depends on how much.

Purple - Looking like a solid .25"++ Some show as much as a half inch of ice, would be just unthinkable and awful. I am not buying into that yet, but, PLEASE be ready, as it looks like we may have a good ole fashion Ice Storm. I expect majority of schools in purple to be closed on Wedensday. Would not be surpriced to see either a Ice Strom Watch or Winter Storm watch issued by tomorrow afternoon at the latest in this area, IF nothing chnages drastcially.

I am always hoping I am right, and for the models not to change, for ONCE, I am hoping this all changes and I am 100% wrong!

Will try and update later tonight, for sure 2 updates tomorrow. Just keeping you updated.

Again, time frame of main event on this would be from 1AM to 1PM Wednesday..

At this moment, the system for Thursday evening, is warmer and warmer, and shoudl be all rain, MAY start off as some sleet or Freezing rain, but, my main focus is the one Wednesday AM at this time.

Have a great day and have fun! Enjoy this wonderful weather and God Bless!

Back into the deep freeze. All that slush that I didn't shovel because I thought it would melt is now an iceberg🙄. Well at least it's going to snow a lot to cover it all up this weekend. More on that when the forecasts are more in agreement on how much and where. Suffice to say...buckle up, friends. Replenish your winter supplies in your car/home and be ready for significant snow and bitter cold. 57 days till spring. :)
