Atlanta Ice Storm coming Thursday???

According to the National Weather Service out of Peachtree City, the area north of a LaGrange to Milledgeville line could see an ice storm starting Wednesday night & persisting into Thursday. There is a wedge of cold air building, and what this always means for Atlanta is COLD weather, and potentially bad icing. The last time we had ice, this wedge was in place. The current advisory lasts until 4 PM EST today, but I'm sure they'll be new ones as the day progresses.

Westlake High in Austin is also closed due to a closely related ice storm. As usual they were one of the last ones to put up their name on the list.

More updates through the day....

3:30 PM EST UPDATE:
The line of bad weather for Wednesday night/Thursday has moved south (see here). It sounds like something may be brewing, but the forecasters are being guarded and not wanting to cause panic. We shall see...this update lasts until 4 AM. If anything develops before then, more updates...until then, let's hope for no work on Thursday!
