is the big MI ice storm happening?

I am willing to bet for some areas that would be a yes.  MBY is luck so far as I have mostly been sleet (as you know sleet just bounces off the trees) with some ZR.  Currently I have had >1/2" of sleet with ZR icing at <0.1"  Temp IMBY is ~30F.

The temp where I'm at in N IL is overing between 31/32. It's rain now, icing up on some areas. One of those situations where a degree down would make a huge (bad) difference. 

We look to be at the low for the day (31/32) and fingers crossed it doesn't drop a degree or two. It would get bad very fast.

Edited 2:55 - Power flickering; I can count on two hands the times in 15 years I've lost power here.

Whatever areas end up on the northern side of the freezing rain zone with little/no sleet will have the worst ice and tree/powerline impacts.  Those areas may remain a tick colder at the surface than the southern part of the freezing rain zone, plus the warm layer aloft won't be quite as warm.
