I'm wary of the NAM dryness in GA since it did this last year on 1/10 too...that said that was not the same setup, this is more of a case where I can somewhat buy the idea though the RGEM not showing it is a major concern and the 3km NAM seemingly bringing the wedge back to almost CTJ or the Bama border is a concern.  I think in the end the risk of the metro seeing ice storm warning criteria is higher than some think while places like GVL E-NE may see more sleet.

Do you think Dunwoody could get any sleet or mostly all freezing rain?

Who remembers using LFM and facsimile for maps in ether school or work?  I was remembering following storms, and it cracks me up with all the data now, it is still tricky.  

Nothing for winter, but I do remember getting lat/long for tropical systems from the paper or local news, and plotting the points on a dry-erase map on the fridge. We also had a bit of DOS software to do the same electronically.

What's interesting for my neck of the woods in Upstate, SC the difference in temps from models post storm

Euro - Low of 18

GFS -   -1 - Insane

Canadian - 10

Icon - 8

All is insanely cold for the upstate - but will be a determining factor early on in road conditions. 19 degree gradient means harder freeze, longer to warm-up, being above freezing for shorter/longer duration.  I guess as an educator, at the least we are able to have e-learning days as long as it isn't lights out!
