WFMZ just said tonight and tomorrow is going to be a very very dangerous situation with possibly a half an inch of ice in the Poconos and a 3rd inch of ice down in the Lehigh valley. 
 

 

 

good to see the typically conservative news up here getting the word out 

That wording sounds like a Winter Storm or Ice Storm Warning should be issued for at least parts of that region. Maybe that is what they are implying?

Lots of red on those counties counties… really surprised there’s just advisories, especially with the way the mesos are trending here tonight 

The Warning criteria is at least 5"/6" snow and/or sleet, and is also based on the designated certain amounts expected over either a 12 hour period or over 24 hours..

The Ice Storm Warning has its own amounts needed to qualify...

The ice storm Warning is pretty significant icing - they actually have one up over on the western side of the state (lofted by State College's WFO).  What often happens with these overrunning storms with marginal temps here is that the warm air comes pouring eventually and the estimated time for continuous icing might not make the 24 hour min.
