To be fair the icing potential, which will cause the biggest impacts is substantial and covers a massive region.
This storm is a very big deal for many. We've dealt with a lot worse but those south will see historic winter weather.
Sleet will happen, not much you can do but you'll get the wall of snow no matter what.
At least we're not pulling our hair out over whether we'll get a near miss from a coastal.
It doesn't get more brutal than missing a 1-2' storm by 50 miles.
I hope we don't get 6-8" of snow with 2" of sleet on top. With temps as cold as they are that'll create a giant skating rink with horrendous plowing & travel conditions.
That's far worse impact wise than a pure 12-15" snowstorm
Agree 100%
Rare possibility of more upside than downside I think. Also if precip falls hard enough near the transition zone that we could hold onto snow longer boosting amounts by 2-4"
