If you didn’t get a lot of snow from last weekend’s storm in the mid Atlantic/northeast, then don’t worry! Appears we’ll have another shot at a northeast snowstorm/blizzard this upcoming weekend (although still uncertain how it evolves)

Second phase of the winter storm starting to materialize, and the truly colossal size of it is starting to become evident, with snow from the Mid Atlantic/Midwest to New Mexico. This round will also see the true onset of the ice storm overnight.

Ice accumulation reports of around half an inch already starting to come in this morning near Idabel OK and Mount Enterprise TX, which has brought down large tree limbs and taken out power. Second round of precip starting to take shape in West Texas.

A potentially catastrophic ice storm with accumulation totals near/over 1 inch is possible, with lower totals from 0.25 to 0.5 inches in a broader corridor from Texas to possibly Tennessee. A second maximum with >0.5 inches of ice is expected in the carolinas.

Good morning.
Our major winter storm enters the first phase later today in the Southern U.S. You are almost out of time to prepare for impacts.
Conditions will deteriorate from there, with all modes of precip in play. Extreme impacts possible in N MS and Western Carolinas.

Still a lot of fighting between models on how much precip farther south is freezing rain or sleet. Something like RRFS might be closer to reality here, but honorable mention to NAM 3km's sleet storm of the century.
Winter Storm Watches have gone up in... a lot of places.

A major winter storm is still expected to hit the Eastern U.S this weekend. High likelihood a large corridor from Oklahoma to Maine sees over a foot of snow, with >2ft totals likely somewhere in that corridor.

Alongside the widespread half inch totals, most of the individual models (as well as EPS) suggest a corridor could receive more than an inch of ice somewhere in AR, then a second maximum in the Carolinas/Georgia.
⚠️Euro has been very aggressive with ice accumulation.

A major winter storm and arctic blast will hit the Eastern half of the U.S this weekend. Both leading global models suggesting snow totals over 2ft in some areas. Ice totals over a half inch will be possible from Texas to Virginia/NC.

A high impact winter storm for the central/southeastern U.S is looking increasingly likely this upcoming weekend. Snowfall totals locally >1ft and major ice storm being advertised (to an extent) by both global models. Euro with a devastating ice storm.

Severe weather is possible on Friday for the Low-Mid MS River Valley as a trough ejects into the region. Tornadoes could be possible, but not likely to be particularly strong, at least right now.

A dynamic storm system is impacting the Midwest/Northeast U.S and Canada today. Severe weather and tornadoes are possible for Illinois and Indiana, while a blizzard affects areas farther north. Freezing rain may also occur from Canada into the Northeast U.S.
