There's a Para Euro? Or did you mean Para GFS?

@Weather Will those are 12z yesterday

.25"+ at some... .5"+ at others

Good question. Usually a WSW is issued when there is a chance of sleet/snow or accumulations of those before the ice. As you state in your post, your warning is just for ice, which would suggest ISW would be better. Perhaps a met could weigh in and explain better?

Because of the 1-3" of snow before the ice
