You wouldn't have guessed it based on some of the posts in here...and the GFS certainly "thought" that up until about this time yesterday.

There are people in our area near the M/D line that very much need to be worried about potential ice.  Just because 70% of people won't see ice doesn't mean others can't be concerned.  Any ice is major.

Not an ice fan but was hoping for a day off for my teacher wife as my 4-year old is going to be home all day tomorrow because they are having parent-teacher conferences and it's never fun trying to work while also fighting to keep him off screens and busy all day. Not looking good for me at the moment. Wish I could trade the rain off day from a couple weeks back for a rain off day tomorrow. At least my car is getting a much-needed cleansing of all the salt.

Just responding in kind. :) 

Let's be honest, we didn't even do ice tracking well this time. The GFS led the charge and we thought it had a chance at being vastly different than a lot of guidance, but like they usually do, everything moved towards each other and converged in the middle. It won't be all rain for me or you, but it also most likely won't be .5" of ice either. 

I thought for a sec we were in trouble when the 12z GFS and then Euro and the 18z NAM had gotten icier, but pretty much everything has trended downwards from there.

We were never going to get a half inch of ice. Despite GFS and NAM throwing out stupid amounts of it. I've been a fan of the Euro the whole time, but you know everyone thinks the Euro sucks, so...

I don't want ice, and I hope it doesn't happen.

Seems like Euro may have done the best with this one. It had one or two runs where it pushed the ice down past I-70 but for the most part advertised far northern areas as the only spots where ice would be a problem. GFS definitely hyped the cold push too much, which is weird since I don't think it usually does that.

Anyway, 3K NAM backed off the cold push, maybe light icing at the end. Exciting for those who don't want ice! 

12Z WB 3K NAM.  Stick a fork in the ice event!  (Good thing!). Now we can hit the reset button and hopefully have something to track for the second half of February by the end of next week.

Whatever heater its been on (real or imagined) it didn't do very well here and was not good for the last storm.
