Canadian and UK are similar with a bigger storm. GFS and Euro are a little similar with two different waves but at different times and have smaller storms. Euro was less suppressed with the first wave than previously. Still seems like a lot of different solutions on the table.

So 12z Canadian crushes Western NC and has a catastrophic ice storm in deep south, UK is more of a central and ENC storm, Euro hits parts of western NC with a finger of snow to start but much heavier in ENC and GFS is suppressed and depressed. So all and all the storm is there but timing, track and evolution of the low and how strong the push of arctic air is still anyone's guess. Blend ensembles and we continue to watch for trends heading into the weekend.

Yeah disaster would be an understatement on that.  I'd welcome a good "snow day" break from work (and laugh darkly at upper management's pleading to work from home if we have power) but that's no bueno.

We somehow kept power through the whole hurricane late last year, but I have a feeling an ice storm may hit us worse and be more damaging/have worse people impact (since so many people are dependent on heat pumps/resistive heat vs. gas or oil furnaces)...

12Z UKMET gives us 2” of qpf with our temperatures at 32 or lower from very late Mon night (1/21) til 24 hours later (near sunrise Wed morning 1/22)!! The good news is that a fair bit is snow is implied. The 850s are only +1 to +2 for the first 9 hours or so (which tends to be cold enough for sleet more often than ZR) before dropping to potential snow levels of 0C to as low as -1C for part of the time. So, this may all be almost all sleet and snow on the 12Z UKMET and would be historic. Of course the odds are low (standard disclaimer out 144 hours), but we’re getting closer!

The UK would definitely be the best solution for our area if we were to get anything

Would love to see the GFS and Euro come back to the UK and CMC solution. I don't think it was uncommon in the past when we actually did get a storm for the Euro and GFS to sniff out a storm in the long range and then it look worse while the UK and CMC pick up the storm, and then the Euro and GFS come back to it again, just not as big as the monster solutions they had before.

I still like the idea right now of places like BHM/ATL being on the north end of this and it being more a central AL-GA-coastal SC NC event.  But I am still wary of the fact that these days these cold air masses tend to be overdone on models at this range, if thats the case again something near or just south of this previous event is likely.
