No offense to anyone on here , but most of you were not born yet, but the January 8th ice storm in ATL and NGA was utterly epic and possibly may never be repeated again..26 degrees for a week, and continuous waves of rain..Deforestation was massive, power out at my parents house for 17 days and no water..

this should be in banter but I was a small child and remember being without power for over week in athens ga.

What year??
 
I remember in 2014, like I said I wasn't with my parents at home but at college where thankfully, it was snow and just a little icing, that historic ice storm cut their power off for a week. They had to go stay with my grandparents, who were in an area that gets it back faster (different power source too, ours at home is a rural one...).
 
Midlands look to be in a favorable spot to see a winter storm. Would be insane to recieve another one a couple days later also.

Oh my lawd... KCHS 32° with a 12° TD. .. might be time to pull a hope for much colder to get a sleet storm. Incredible wedging shown this far out.

Unfortunately, it's kind of dry!

Could we expect to see winds pick up over the 15-20mph range during this event? Ice is bad enough by itself.

A few months ago I came across a weather site specializing in wind measurements and forecasting; hopefully the more seasoned veterans on this forum can educate us as to whether it's a useful tool. If nothing else, I love the the graphics (which are animated if you go to the site: windy.com), and you can click on the date/time slider at the bottom of the page to view the time frame that you're interested in.

Confusing me more and more with each model addition, but that's a good thing! :rolleyes:
Thanks!

I was 8 and remember it vividly. No power for 10 days. Giant oak trees splitting huge houses in two. It was epic and I would not like to see a repeat now that I am an adult and a property owner!
 
I think that the two gold standards for IP/ZR storms in Middle Georgia are the 1964 New Year's Day storm and the 1988 storm that's been mentioned several times on here on the past few days. I know that I'm south of Macon, but it's looking like that this CAD will be strong enough to at least bring me some ZR in a similar manner to the January 2005 storm.
