    FRAM isn't a model, it's an algorithm that calculated true accrual of  ice. It tends to be much more conservative than just straight accumulation maps.This is why it's concerning, because it will account for the portion of the rain that's just runoff.

    Ahhh dear lord Thats rough then

    Looking at your house on the latest model run map and saying this isn’t going to be a serious event does everyone else a disservice.  This thread covers a lot of territory.  Some will get a cold rain.  Others could be without power for two or three days.  We have people reading this thread who don’t post, but would like get a sense of what might be coming.

    Exactly. And the NAM may look warmer but it’s definitely not, if anything it brought heavier amounts further SE in CLT area. ANYONE along and NW of 85 Or a Line From Shelby-Concord-Lexington-NW Wake County Should prepare for an ice storm and Be pleasantly surprised if you end up not needed the extra supplies

    Yeah it's just a climatology quirk. I will say though that I'm surprised that the outer regions haven't been bit by an ice storm in a while. The February 2014 storm featured a "super CAD" that gave my parents in Wilmington and others at that latitude a pretty legit ice storm; my neighbor's tree came down. Other 10 mile strips (like the 158 corridor on Saturday) have been nabbed by some 0.25-0.75 events in various transition zones. but there hasn't be a catastrophic 2002 redux that hits the "middle sections" hard in a while, and frankly I'm surprised those types of storms don't come more often since CAD can be so readymade. 

    It’s crazy the thin line, I grew up In Concord Mills /Speedway area, seemed so much different even just in Kannapolis/Landis/China Grove then I moved to Hwy150/801 Mt Ulla area and that’s even different than those areas. All 10 mile or so increments ..... and I remember 2002 front end thump of 1-2” of snow then power was out for a week after it changed that night to ice
