Can someone find me an analog of a miller A with that type of ice 

 

I’m checking this link’s worst icestorms for the E Piedmont and am looking for wx maps to see:

 Per this link, 2/13-15/1960 was worst icestorm in 33 years in much of NC. Here is a link to the 2/12-14/60 wx maps, suggesting a Miller A:

  Per this snow map from Webb, it also was a big snow producer for much of NC, with 3.7-5” in RDU area:

It does look like more snow, not just the snow maps

Based on 850s, RDU gets ~1” of snow in the first few hours. But then it changes to a short period of sleet followed by a long period of ZR with even a short period of rain at the very end (33F).
