I am not sure it will correlate but I am hoping the overperformance of the snow in Atlanta means the screw line up here will be a bit farther south.

Its all about where the heavy bands set up. I'm only at a half inch, but someone on here 3 miles to my north has 2 inches.

Latest NAM, NAM 3k, RAP, & HRRR all have between 0.25"- 0.5" of freezing rain for Wake County. Is that a realistic outcome? 

Unlikely.  General rule of thumb is models usually overdo the icing.  But I guess there are probably exceptions.

General rule of thumb: mixing/outright ZR is always on the table in Wake, especially south and East. Depending on track, US 1 and/or US 64 are good landmarks for this. 
 

edit: that said, even a full ZR storm won’t equate 1:1 to total QPF. Start with total QPF, cut in half, and that’s a reasonable “worst outcome” benchmark.
