Wintry Feb 11-13 2021 Ice Potential

Woke up to a winter weather advisory this morning ... through Saturday afternoon ... yeah temps seem just too cold for us to at least not be prepared
 
For us northern NC folks Traid - Triangle - Northern coastal plain, tonight might be our biggest shot of getting a winter event (that's if the Icon is off it's rocker for early next week). So we'll start with the NWS:

Here's the crazy HRW:

It must be noted that there are models that do not show ice as far south, particularly for the Triangle. But it's all we (I) have at the moment.
 
33.4 here. I don’t expect to get below 32 at my location in central Raleigh but we’ll see.
 
At one point I got down to 32.4 degrees (..not freezing). Hopefully tonight we can get a small event of just less that .25". --> Turns everything to glass but doesn't take down power.

temps yesterday in 40s so nothing on roads but trees have a light glaze.
 
32.0, the rain just don't get any colder....I can maybe see a little patchy tree top glaze and I am seeing streaks of ice on hood of vehicles. But for the most part just miserable cold rain
Tonight might do it. The latest 12z HRRR just came in a little colder; now showing freezing rain for the counties the NWS put under advisories.
 
Little Ice/Sleet on the old hunting/fishing Jeepster this morning. Also lgt glaze on trees/deck I’d say 0.01-0.02. had a low of 31.4 currently 32/31
