Winter Storm DOOM. Who Gets Hit and Who Doesn't? NWS Update pg 13

Who out there in glp land is getting hammered by this lastest winter storm doom?

I'm in KY, right on the impact zone of what the forecasters and media are calling an emergency situation. We are expected up to 1" of ice thru tomorrow afternoon.
Ppl around here have been in a state of near panic for the last 2 days in preparation for this "event" that was scheduled to kick in significantly last night. Well.....this morning we have nothing outside but a bit of sprinkles thru the early morning hours with temps above freezing (so far). The radar is showing a clearing but yet travel restrictions are planned for this afternoon and the alerts are still going out. We have been told that power outage are expected, and will last for several days. On top of that, the temps are supposed to drop down to near 0 by Sunday. It's scaring the old people and causing panic buying everywhere!

So, my question is....
Who is getting hit by this "monster" winter storm because it's not us (so far)?

Just South of Louisville, we have some ice build up, but our street is drivable. Interstate 65 which I can see from my home has light traffic, but it's moving along fine. Power is on here, but a mile or so past our home people are reporting power out. So we weren't impacted as bad as I had feared. Going to attempt to make it to the office soon.

I'm southwest of you. We have a about 1/4" inch of ice here. Forecast called for 3/4" - 1". Looks like the storm is moving south of my location with Bowling Green in it's sights. The roads here are impassable for now. Be careful

I saw it on the local news out of Shreveport La. They presented data from two sources ; the national weather service and the the so called "european model".

Looking over this precipitation forecast and taking into consideration 1 inch of rain equals 10-15 inches of snow at 15 degrees, based on my own experience i'd say they are right IF it does get as cold as expected.

I used to live in Anchorage. The answer is simple:

The deep south does not have the equipment to manage ice and snow as Alaska does. The houses are also not built to keep in heat, but to stay cooler during the hot summers -- no triple pane windows, no R-100 insulation.

It would be like taking you, right now, plopping your ass in 105 degree temps with 90% humidity, in full mid-day sun, and calling you a wimp for sweating.

Then wondering why you are so damned wimpy when you learn a Cat 1 is inbound. Real Southerners stand outside in a Cat 1 to recharge.

nothing here. In the 50's and mostly sunny with a spattering of rain earlier before noon. not even a breeze.

After getting all the ice off the SUV's windows and wiper blades and turning on the four wheel drive I made it to the office just 35 minutes later than usual. Main roads were mostly clear but side streets were still covered in a snow ice mix.

Re-pinned you, so peeps can post updates for their area.

Here in the Netherlands too,20 inches of snow in the east! -12 degrees tonight and comming days!Pulled out my 1966 Willys CJ-5 2.2 f-head running on chains! Unstoppable!

Eastern WV here: forecast was for 9+ inches of Snow, we got an inch, this is the 4th or 5th snow event for us so far and the forecast has not even been close on any of them?? not Bitching as i am glad to not get much but damn how can forecasters be so wrong 90% of the time??

Looked like the Southern part of WV had something like 50,000 without power, i think they got mostly ice?

Honestly and wholeheartedly fuck this weather and all of this chemtrail/spraying in the air. Can’t get any sun to melt this disgusting snow. And when there is snow it comes out for three minutes and gone for the rest of the day. Blocking out the sun turns the air much colder now it’s snowing instead of raining. I fucking hate it tbh. How can people live in Seattle is beyond me.

WV has got to be the hardest place to forecast weather because in 5 minutes everything can change. Especially everything south of 119. I've seen simple rain showers turn to massive flash floods there. Wind storms turn to microbursts and small tornadoes, and "light dusting" of snow turn to complete white out conditions. I love that state! But the weather is anything but predictable.
