Wintry Feb 17-19 Smastsmasher Snow/Ice

The ICON would be pretty significant as temps stay around 27-30 degrees for the northern upstate through the Piedmont and several hours of light rain in the morning before more moderate precip comes in
 
Even if the icon was right that’s heavy rain right around 32 degrees for the upstate. Tree top glaze at best verbatim
 
At this point I’ll take a 10th of an inch of ice in the trees. Better then this cold rain

Found this paragraph interesting from their AFD. They seem to have an idea with how this is going to play out with the current lay of the land, if you will.

On Wednesday, a new low pressure system will start to develop over
the western Gulf of Mexico and move rapidly northeast. This new
storm system will bring more winter weather to the region for
Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon. Another round of
significant snow accumulation is expected with some ice
accumulation possible over southern and eastern sections of the
Mid-South. Will hold off on issuing a Winter Storm Watch until
this current winter weather event has ended but one will likely be
needed by Tuesday morning.
 
Thing I’m taking away from this is how things are getting colder and colder. ICON really had light rain for a good portion of the day Tuesday until heavier returns come through at night. Also the 925’s were between -1 and -4 degrees C so while I’m sure 850’s would be scorching that should help some of the latent heat and cool off the rain in the atmosphere before getting to the ground.
 
Wut?
