Freezing Rain, Sleet, Snow, Rain...Kitchen Sink (12/15-16)

Brad upping his wording View attachment 57557

Whoohoo! I'm just inside the pink (south of Statesville along 77)! What do I win?

Brad P ought to stick to his guns if he thinks it's only a nuisance event. I'm sticking to my guns that I seriously doubt I'm getting anywhere near .25 of ice accrual.
 
Align that map pretty much with 85/north and make a circle for a more significant area in the foothills and there’s the finished product
Yeah I’d probably push the ZR-RN line a little further SE but keep it just barely NW of CLT-RDU, maybe add an additional area just outside that for trace ZR or IP. GSO-Statesville-Hickory-Marion and pts north and west id go with at least 0.1-0.2” ZR with potential for 0.25”-0.3” or so and numerous-widespread power outages

I’m gonna wait until at least tonight’s 0z suite to produce a first call map, gonna need to see what effect if any this vort actually moving over the us RAOB network has on NWP
 
The same, it weirdly warms up surface temps before precip moves in during the night....
Is it weird though ? Looks like Tuesday night temps drop as it will be clear . Perhaps the Euro is just showing the onset of a low level system and some wind stirring up what would have been a perfect night of radiational cooling which results in the rise in temps as precip and clouds ( wind?!) arrive ?

Anyone have a link to current soil temps?
 
Here’s my first call map (blend of the NAM/GFS/CMC/RGEM/UK/ICON)
*note this could get warmer or I could get more aggressive, depends on trends the next 2 days !*
-thinking for Right near Charlotte and north, a glaze to .10 with a few sleet pellets is possible, this extends into the upstate and perhaps GA
-as you get towards LKN/huntersville up the 85 corridor to High point/GSO, you start increasing to 0.1 to 0.2 and perhaps 0.25 of ice along with some sleet, also @Sleet City USA favorite place landrum SC and those areas in the extreme northern upstate stand a better chance more ice
-As you get towards hickory/statesville up to the I-40 corridor, the chances of a more significant ice storm (0.25>) increase along with maybe up to 0.25 of sleet as those areas will be around 29-31 B3B5D810-17C2-4CA2-8F86-692D394D946F.jpeg
 
My prediction. Ice storm for the areas in red and further north. We will see.

Here's my first call. I think along and North of I40 and Northeast of I26 is likely to see a significant ice storm. Widespread .25 here with isolated .4 of ICE in some valleys where CAD will likely hold on for the duration of the storm. I think the Triad, along and south of I40, and the prime CAD areas of SC likely get a decent storm out of this as well. TR, Taylors, Landrum, Inman, Greer, Chesnee, Boiling Springs, Gaffney, Lyman/Welford especially will likely see a decent storm. Greenville, Southern Spartanburg, Union, Simpsonville, CLT, and just east of the Triad should see at least a glaze to up to .1 of ICE. These CADs always hold on longer than models show, and usually over perform. I still don't think we will get a good feel until the 12z suite tomorrow from the mesoscale models.
