NOTE: I just edited this post and changed all the "icestorm" words to "ice storm." Would someone tell me why ice storm is two words while snowstorm and thunderstorm are singlular words? I wish Mr. Webster would let me rewrite the dictionary.
It is going to affect a wide area, but for this post we discuss mainly Extreme NE Georgia and the Carolinas where an ice load of 2/10ths to 4/10th ice load could form.
An Ice Storm Warning continues today for:
Extreme NE Georgia
Upstate South Carolina
Southern Foothills and Piedmont of North Carolina
Hardest hit will be the Carolinas, especially North Carolina.
An ice load of 1/2 inch may be common along and north of Interstate 40 from Asheville to Hickory and eastward. If this happens, numerous trees will come crashing down from the heavy weight of the ice. Widespread power outages will occur that may last for days.
Travel in those areas highly discouraged.

Athens...32, freezing rain
