Ice Wars


Everything is going as planned, EXCEPT that freezing line has pushed a bit farther
southeast than originally planned this morning. Tells the story this latest
radar image does.



The storm hasn't changed much...maybe some refinements in the ice accumulation
amounts. Still seeing significant ice accumulation impacts getting worse the
farther north and west you go. Freezing rain should hit in several waves, with
this morning's relatively light stuff being a preview.





The freezing line will meander a bit here and there, so it is probably still the
most important map of the whole shebang!



Yowsa, that line is farther southeast than feared! Keep your eyes on these two
maps throughout the weekend (as well as on your favorite NWS/media source, of
course). However, you too can be a "nowcaster" with these two maps.

Still have the freezing rain advisory and the ice storm warning, so be prepared.
Still time to get to Braum's if you drive really, really slow.
