I was wondering if this thread was going to be a thing. I haven’t been able to tell what parts of the South may be affected.

If the euro verifies that’s going to be a historic ice storm from north Louisiana southern Arkansas through Mississippi north Alabama north Georgia south and North Carolina.

12z GFS that just came out is a doozy.

Latest GFS model spitting out some crazy totals for north Georgia and north/South Carolina

I just hope the ice misses us in Louisville, still don't have a generator.

The continued high confidence is pretty unnerving. Hard to see any fail modes where someone doesn't see a destructive ice storm.

12z GFS

Be careful with using the total ZR maps verbatim. Sleet is going to cut into those totals across north Georgia somewhat, based on forecast soundings. Still a decent ice event, and someone will hit the unlucky jackpot of threading the needle and getting a pure ZR event over traditional CAD areas of N/E GA. I’ve only looked at north and central Georgia, so this may be a different story to our west.
I'm surely hoping for more snow like the GFS is suggesting instead of the ice storm, but unfortunately, the GFS is the only one showing that possibility.

I live around the Bedford area of Virginia, and we haven’t had any real impressive snow storms in the past few winters, but my phone weather app was saying 7-8” of snow for the 25th yesterday and it is now saying 5-7” today for the 25th. If we get that much, it will be interesting to see.

The euro has some serious CAD

It's mainly the Euro that has me spooked, it's pretty good with these events and it seems to be pretty locked on, some of the freezing rain totals it's still printing look horrifying
12z Canadian GDPS and 00z/6z/12z Euro still promoting See Johnny On Ice. The consistency with this from the Euro is uncanny

A substantial and troubling amount of model consensus on the globals for a potentially significant winter weather event in the South over the weekend. Furthermore, there seems to be a high level of agreement on a zone of freezing rain or non-snow frozen/freezing precip somewhere in the Southeast, setting up along the freezing line. All signs point to the possibility of a major winter storm.
