A "touch" of ice after or before a snowstorm is fine with me. But a moderate to extreme ice storm (with or without a snowstorm).... No way! I'm not that desperate for winter weather.

One of the most memorable snowstorms for SC was in February. I'm pretty sure February has a higher snowfall average in most Southern cities than December.

I certainly hope he is ok. I have a lot of respect for him and what he brings to this forum.

I don't remember anything for 2-12-14 when I was living in Carrollton, GA and I know I didn't see any ice in 2015. Typically Mid Feb-March is either rain or snow. I'm not saying you can't get frozen precip in Mid Feb in the deep south, but snow is much more common than ice late in the winter. Ice is largely an early-mid winter phenomenon in the deep south.

GFS always loses storms and brings it back.
We've still got the Canadian.
It's trended NW but it can trend back south.
We've got an -NAO, SE ridge will get beaten down.
Check out the control run!
Check out ensemble member 37!

I will say ice, probably a lot like snow in the SE is shown too heavily on models. The model we probably trust the most is the Nam for this, and just last week it was spitting out an inch of ice in places 24hours before the event. Most place got up to .10 or so. I honestly think we spend too much time looking at these maps that will mean 0 in 6 hours, but I guess thats the hobby.

Give me ice, sleet, or snow. I’ll take anything over cold ---- rain.

I’m curious to see how many consecutive days we can manage to go below freezing here. Just based off that latest models at least 5 may not be out of the question. 
Wedges ?

Not sure how less snow on the models today versus yesterday is not a worse look.

Because you look at the ensembles. Not the operational runs. Yeah the gfs op had big storms yesterday but the ensembles didn't really support it

But If it were my choice I'd only look at the icon

GEFS was definitely worse IMO.
Can you get us the icon ensembles

I mean, it's called the ICON for a reason.
They should rename it The ICON Sting.

Bring it! ?
I'm glad to see @Loganelliott99 has gotten the hang of weather tracking vs. earlier this year.
I would like to see the cold a little further south so we’re not so marginal when precip arrives....

Must suck! But on the other hand....at least you will get to enjoy an ice storm. I will only get cold rain and get to keep my power on. ?

Lol what a Euro run there better be some snow though again it's bordering on fantasy land

That eps though
I did a quick search for ICON verification numbers and couldn't find anything. Pretty sure it was the first to pick up the storm from last year from what I remember. Would be nice to see a performance chart of some kind though.

This site needs a dedicated chat room that is designed to be a "free for all" so that some of the cliff dwellers can go have a fit. I would pay for a ticket just to get in there and watch.

Pouring snow right now. Huge flakes !
Oh man a chat room would be such a delicious disaster. I need instructions on how to make that happen
I put together a quick poem on our situation. Enjoy!
Here we sit watching ever so closely
waiting on a storm to change from fantasy to reality
will it be rain, sleet or snow
or will the models keep us guessing for days in a row
oh Mr. TPV will you help us please
so our winter weenies can be appeased
now we wait ever so patient
for the big dog to visit and bring snow to this part of the nation

I am new here, but was here for a while before I signed up. Why are you in the Southern forum, not to be rude, but I don't really care about the weather in Indiana,. You seem to relish in rubbing your weather in our poor snowless faces...
