RGEM is starting to pick up on Saturday's potential:

Out to lunch. Rain in hickory / Wilkes / surry County but ZR in Burlington and Raleigh?? Mmm ok.

Also, 32 and rain is not freezing rain. I don't care what these model maps spit out.
Man your not woke
CADs don’t work the way they used to ! In the 2010s they happen in the eastern part of NC ?
 
Freezing rain events can be really tricky to forecast. The last big ice storm I remember is the one that hit here Dec 2002. I don't think it was forecasted to be that bad. I remember one time in 6th grade I was getting on the bus and it was raining, and it turned into freezing rain. The roads were an ice rink not too long after I got on the bus, and the bus ended up getting stuck at the bottom of a hill. A deputy sheriff had to take me home, and their were wrecks all over the place. It was supposed to be only rain. Like with any kind of winter event around the Triangle, a degree or two can make all the difference.
 
And me too. If we don't catch a thaw between the Thursday night-Friday event and that one, it could be big trouble. Temps are really close daytime Friday.
getting nervous about this one forsure
