Well it's just knocking on the door - frz rain and mixed precip just north of my area ... temperature has steadily fallen during the night and it's down to 34 ... light rain/drizzle ...

Well some frz drizzle did occur this morning at 32 degrees, but CHS only made down to 34...barely a trace ...

However, Columbia wasn't so lucky ... freezing rain caused power outages, numerous traffic accidents, and as Colasnow put it, not one Meteorologist in the CAE or TV area saw it coming.

We had terrible problems on the exit ramps this am, power outrages and icing in the trees. Not one Meterologist forcasted this to happen. You said the potential was there and you were right. Good Job.
