I thought the same after Laura and right before the ice event last February. Between Laura knocking out all the trees already and a lot of our infrastructure being brand new, we hardly had any power outages.

Evening NWS forecast has now added "less than 0.1"" ice accumulations Friday from BR east into the Florida Parishes.
The "s" word gets thrown in the mix once you get to Lafayette and westward. No accumulations mentioned from the SWLA office yet, for ice or anything else.
Strangely, looking at the current Thursday night/Friday morning period it shows the dew points dropping into the mid-20's on the northshore but the temperature drops with it in step to just below freezing....in other words it doesn't show wet bulbing at the surface.

What might be happening with the GFS is it’s taking specific 0Z/12Z/18Z time slots and not seeing it frozen at that time. You look at the “snow” accumulation and it paints a stripe like the NAM does. So it’s freezing something in between the hours.
