First of all i don't want people to have property damage or harm to anyone on this forum or out there in the real world. But what i want or wish or not wish to happen doesn't change anything we all know this.

Snow storms cause millions of dollars in damage, loss of life and property etc but i think we can all agree that we want snow, big snow, recording breaking KUs. So what's the difference? What's the difference between that and ice storms? It's winter weather and it looks "wintry." 

We're all here because we love extreme weather, record highs, record lows, tornadoes, snow storms, wind, squalls whatever. All of those cause damage and loss life, it's just a fact. To me ice storms are no different. It's wintry outside, it's not plain boring rain that i would otherwise forget even happened. Trees are crackling, roads are icy, the grass looks like frozen death spikes and most importantly this will go down in the record books and its something to watch and measure. 

If it's not going to snow i'd rather have ZR then PL. That's just my opinion/perspective on things.

Today was one of those days when you used to watch the weather channel back in the day and it said "Wintry Mix" with that animated graphic icon. We got snow and sleet, then zr then back to sleet then back to zr, mixed both of them again, then all zr. It was a wintry day no doubt.

Oddly temperatures rising again. Back up to 31F and freezing rain.
