Any thoughts on the potential ice storm this weekend?

This site seems to predict chaos and 2 inches of ice but I hope it's wrong.

Hope it's just a few flurries.

I am very concerned when looking at the 12z EURO run from earlier today. Honestly I never seen max values being outputted on the EURO model before for Ice, so this is new to me. To say im concerned is an understatement. For anyone who understands icestorms and just how much can cause widespread impacts, all it takes is just .25 for power outages. If theres .50-.75 you are dealing with prolonged impacts, trees downed and extensive damage to power lines. Between 1.00-1.50 entire power grids become damaged. Widespread damage to trees. Roads impassable for days if not weeks. 1.50-2.00 power grids not only shut down but substations become damaged from the weight of ice accumulations building on transformers and pylons. Hard to imagine ice accumulating over 2inches. Once you get into these extreme values this is what you call a "catastrophic ice storm". Power grids can become damaged and take months to be fully repaired. So there is big time worries for central Oklahoma up to Ohio. We will be monitoring this potential and update when warranted. Anything can change, and if there is one forecast that I hope to god does not verify, this is the one.

For postseason postponements, the Commissioner will make every effort to set the game as soon as possible after its originally scheduled date and at the same site. If unable to schedule at the same site, he will select an appropriate alternative site.

You think people from the midwest have never seen this shit before? I'm driving 3 hours to go to the game and will stay the night after but it's not keeping me from going.

Pitt fans may not travel that far but local area will show.

Buckle up

RIP DT :(

Would you really blame them if they valued their life over a football game? This forecast may turn into a whole lot of nothing. But, if it is as bad as it has the potential to be, I wouldn't blame them one bit for staying home and off the streets.

I completely agree that its not likely. But I would be a fool to not be keeping it in the back of my mind. When it comes to driving in those conditions, its not me I'm worried about, its all the drivers that don't know how to drive in it. Regardless of the region, there are tons of shitty drivers that you need to be worried about.
