Came here to ask the same. Looks like this might be a heavy-duty glaze event.
Temps on my built-in weather app show much higher this morning than last night. Hopefully we avoid ice
Up here it'll be 18 friday night and stay below freezing til tuesday.............lotta Ice incomingQuote:

The issue for us, and Mississippi as well, is the temperature. We will not get above freezing until Tuesday. I know most of North Mississippi will not be above freezing until next weekend.
Lows in the 20's and teens Saturday and Sunday with 70-99% rain/snow/sleet. It's gonna be nasty. That's Hindsight/Madison/Yazoo county areas.Quote:

The bulk of the state will see mainly freezing rain and sleet. And while some models are kicking out catastrophic amounts, I'm thinking north of 82 will probably see between 0.5-1.5" of ice. Which is still enough to cause widespread power outages and make travel nearly impossible. The added kick in the balls is that after the storm passes temps will plummet so most of what falls will be here for a while.
Yep. It's a classic ice setup with the COLD temps to follow.Quote:

We're going to have a lot of them looking down at roads during the event to help monitor travel conditions. MDOT will have the link to view them.Quote:

Latest forecast has 82 north getting plastered
The models are really crazy here in Southern PA. One of the stations is using the euro putting us at 15-18 inches and the other one only 4-6. Still seems too early to tell.
Oh you're getting shi& on up there but man you don't want to be in the VA WVA south Penn area. They are talking bout 17-20 In of Snow. Minus Temps I 40 and above.Quote:

So what does it mean when they are calling for ice? Is that in the form of sleet or rain that is going to freeze and accumulate on trees and power lines?
I hope the temps are cold enough to freeze anything before it hits the ground!!!
It pushing north on the latest euro could be worse for us closer to TN. Might be better for y'all in central MS.

If you are unlucky enough to get caught on the highway with ice and snow, I can give you one piece of very good advice - COAST along over bridges. Do not give it gas or brake!! Most people in Miss. do not know how to drive in these conditions. Best advice, stay home.
Last sentence is all you need to know. Up north the peeps all know to carry tire chains with them because of the icing. And dont even try to go up a icy hill or down one. You will end up in the woods.Quote:

Fortunately, I made it home.
Yeah. My wife works at St Dominic. I hate her driving through Jackson.Quote:

Crap!!!! ThanksQuote:

If you wreck, so be it.? Pisses me off because I know all the managers will be working from home all safe and warm tomorrow night.
Still showing 40 of a high for SundayQuote:

One thing for sure, where ever that band of freezing rain sets up is going to be in for a bad time. 1" ice accumulations look likely and it may be more. Where that is will all depend on the exact track of the low. For every mile north or south it tracks that moves that line one mile.Quote:
