Also not surprised DMX didn't mention it as they seem to be very cautious with ice wording and the worst icing does look to occur, if it even does, to the east/SE of their counties.

0z Euro suggesting that ICE your mentioning...

Good grief. We have everything from snow to thunderstorms to high wind and fire risks.  
Just about anything for everyone. 
I just don’t want anything in the 20’s for very long.

Walworth's WWA is just for freezing rain and sleet, with ice accumulations up to .25in. There is going to be some massive damage. No mention of snow with this storm. If we get that much ice it's going to be national news probably.

Can someone explain why this is happening with the storm, please? Portage Wisconsin (near the Dells) forecast has low going into the day as 18, high that day of 22, then low of 5 but they are calling for snow and sleet, why would there be sleet with those temps?

They are still calling for 1-3in of snow, and it doesn't look like there's wrap around snow on NAM, looks like all sleet. It usually seems like there's a very clear cut off between snow and rain but this has a bigger blob of sleet then I'm used to seeing. I understand that sleet is snow that melts as it falls then freezes again, but what maps on tropicaltidbits show that it'd be warm enough to become sleet?
