I'm betting on a chilly, windy day, with precip during the frontal passage, but surface temps not cold enough for conventional "icing".
But then, I've only lived around here for 67 years and once had to worry professionally about the the science of prediction while playing at being a seafarer.
I leave the full quote of my 12:53PM, November 28 message for all who were conned into attempting reroutes through ORD etc. because of the "storm" in Dallas. Next time you'll believe me!
