Real talk too far out to make calls. Time for it to change a bunch. Just not a fan of the H5 look at the current juncture for ice
You actually raise a pretty good point here, and this made me think about my past experiences.
1988 - Hart County Georgia
93 Superstorm Hart County Georgia
Blizzard of 96 - Avery County, NC
Jan 2000 Ice and Snow Hart County GA - AJC
Feb 2014 Columbia, SC

Yeah that storm sort of sucked
My current generator isn't great, and James Spann mentioning it this far out spooked me. So I ordered a new one.
Just want to give a heads up that many of the dual fuel inverter types aren't in stores. Delivery only (to you or store). So time might be tight, if you want a good one.
I went with this one. Wirecutter top pick:

It's snowing here.
Luckily I opted out of AMS this year to speak at a meteorologist conference in Colorado this Tuesday-ThursdayFor those of you heading to the AMS Conference this system may happen while you’re away

Maybe 2021 in Texas...

I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't be surprised to see the big one go south a bit before coming back NW and back to what it's showing on the majority of the models now.

I ask for a Winter Weather Advisory and I might end up with an Ice Storm Warning
Okay, let’s try it again. Cabin in the smokies saved but waiting to see if this is a hometown storm first. Fully ready to congratulate the gulf coast but the ensemble support is nothing like we’ve seen yet!

Needless to say, the models that showed the rain/snow line stalling around Richmond County for much of the event verified. I initially thought that I might go jump on I-20 and stop in Thomson, but I changed my mind and headed towards Wrens instead and that worked probably about as well. Not too sure about totals as I left with it still coming down, but I honestly think they had picked up 0.25" while I was in the area (slow going since I don't have a clue where things are, I decided I needed to find a place for the facilities before I left).
Edit: If I were to change anything, I would've not taken country roads. The rain alone made it a not fun drive, now imagine if it was below freezing.
Yeah man it was brutal. We probably arent more than 10 miles from each other. I work in Moore and they had about maybe an inch or two if that
I used to say get the storm to day 7 before getting too excited. For me (now) I say let's get this under day 5, with model agreement.
One thing I didn't expect from the 2017 event in Cobb was the power outages. Many were without power for days to weeks! Not from ice, but from the heavy snow!
I lived in Acworth that year and I remember seeing the green flashes throughout the night from transformers blowing.
The areas above 1000’ that hit right at 32 really scored that day, but the snow was so extremely wet that trees and power lines couldn’t handle it.
Makes me think of December 2010. 4-6" with a little ice to begin with. The ice insulated the snow from the ground and it froze into rock hard tracks along roads that didn't get plowed. Technically a "white" Christmas since it began on the 25th. The next week was the coldest I ever remember being in my adult life.
2014 was a mess too. 2 storms within 10 days of each other both with significant ice accretion and snow.
