Greg Fishel said in his latest update there is an 80% chance of a quarter inch of ice and only a 30% chance of half an inch or more. He said in no way will it be the worst ice storm we have ever had.

Was any rational person saying it would be the worst ice storm we have had? Maybe it's because I've been watching Ethan's forecasts all week but it seems to me to have remained pretty danged consistent that there would be significant icing and that Wake county would be about the dividing line of where that icing would be heavy enough to cause major power issues. Areas west of Wake County were where the icing was most likely to cause widespread issues.
 
Started raining softly and lightly about 9:45-10:00 pm in far SW Orange County. 20 degrees. A little ice forming on branches and what few leaves we have.

I had hoped the ultra-cold would dissipate whatever upper level warmth is melting it and let it fall as snow or sleet. I'm still hoping a significant amount falls as sleet or the storm runs out of moisture.

Charlotte area news has heavily implied that this storm will be the end of civilization as we know it and that we will be lucky to have either a functional society or electricity by Monday.
