Tim Buckley was asked on social media why the models have seemed to be more inaccurate this year. His response was interesting and I was unaware of this

"Well, winter fake outs are nothing new - but the more you pay attention the more you get disappointed. A real issue this year though is that there are many fewer airplanes in the air due to COVID. Weather data from planes goes into feeding computer models with important observations, so their predictions have been more chaotic and less accurate than usual."

Brad P talked about this months ago during Hurricane season,  nothing new.  Commercial flights are down leading to less sampling of the upper atmosphere!

That is a long duration of an ice storm in the Carolinas per 0z GFS , although with that 1062 High Pressure,  a lot of that should be Snow

"In the contiguous U.S. the highest barometric reading is 1064 millibars which was measured at Miles City, Montana, on December 24, 1983"

So not impossile but extremely unlikely
