Wintry King Kong Winter Storm Potential Feb 13th-16th

I love winter and am royally pissed the eastern SE missed out here, but why in the world would anyone want an ice storm? They are miserable and good for nothing ... If you lived through the 1973 ice storm in Atlanta, you would think twice before wishing for one...
Truth! I was in a really bad ice storm in Montgomery years ago and seeing major tree limbs breaking, transformers blowing, and losing power is no fun.
 
Radar returns show lightning with heavy snow in west Central Ms.

That looks like the far NW 4 counties.... ??‍♂️
 
Got up to 30 with a steady freezing rain. Water is flowing off the roof gutter drains. I guess the rain must be falling faster than it can freeze right now. I guess the temperature rose because there was more moisture flow off the Gulf than the arctic air could offset.
 
A lot more than you realize, you? People seem to foam at the mouth wanting one...Just to have ice....

I don't understand hand wringing about people "wishing" for ice or the discussion about how much we want or don't want ice to happen. The weather doesn't care. This board is to discuss whether it WILL happen, not if we want it to happen.

Are you sure your thermometer is working properly ? It's 25 at the airport in Baton Rouge.
 
HSV...from this morning on temps....seems pretty accurate for now

Temperatures will vary during the event, depending on your
location. In fact, a brief change over to rain isn`t out of the
question in areas along and east of Interstate 65. Models continue
to "tease" a warm up to at or above freezing in these areas. While a
warming trend is likely, the values advertised by the models for a
large chunk of the area are likely overdone (as they have been for
several days). Thus, we continue to have confidence that most areas
will see significant winter impacts during the warning window.
