I think this is one of those “trust the local Mets” storms. If you don’t have local knowledge on where you are or a degree then stop trying to forecast this 👍
Are you a meteorologist? This storm still has crazy potential for the Augusta area! It most likely won't just be a "cold rain". I mean yes, it is possible but the odds are extremely low given the setup and unpredictability of the low/high.
You aren't one yet either big dawg. Humble yourself
 
Its seems like the is there? It the placement of the HP for me
Hey man we all want the colder scenario and yes placement of the HP is crucial but you have to understand that placement will ultimately depend on the energy out west and how much the northern streams dives south, pushing the eastern synoptics further north. It's not just as simple as "placement of high" is everything. It's been said by several posters now, that HP isn't an unmovable feature, it will strengthen, weaken, adjust south, north, based on where all other upper air features shake out.

To me an Ice Storm is the cold equivalent to a Hurricane but in someways worse because no power in 70-80 degree temps is manageable but freezing temps with no power, especially if you don’t have gas is…oof
I'm lucky, cause I have a gas heater but requires electricity to power it on. I also have gas water heater that was installed in July due to the old one breaking due to 7/18 severe tstorm event that took out the power line that feeds this house. Duke had to come here to reset the breaker.
 
I knew i shouldn’t have gotten excited for this system i feel embarrassed for hyping this up with my coworkers. Until i see a flake fall out of the sky with my bare eyes i’m no longer trusting models that show fantasy snow

GFS keeping VA folks in the game. Hate this stupid model. Probably just a blip
 
No, it’s not. It’s more like 1-4 degrees warmer. A step in the wrong direction? Perhaps. Low 20s down into CAE during the heart of it.

It’s just trending towards where the ai models are already at. These people who think a big ice storm isn’t coming are way off base
 
I personally don't think the circled area would get ZR

Maybe I'm wrong....tell me what I am missing
You're seeing the correction to a more traditional CAD setup. Sharper cold air damming, not these ridiculous teens and low 20s that have been modeled. You have will have low and mid 20s in the CAD zones of NC, mid and high 20s through upstate SC, mid 30s CAE, and probably a freezing line that sets up anywhere from 75 north of ATL to as far east as 400 or 985 depending on the strength of the CAD.
