Well, they never say he's a meteorologist, but "Chief Forecaster", Pat Shingleton comes to mind.

You weren't going to miss out this time!

Will this end being worse than the last ice/rain/snow event?

Let me tell you something about ole Pat. During the 6pm weather on Thursday night, Pat said we will get a frozen sprinkle and maybe a stray flake, and that "the episode will be over by midnight".
Even though, as he was saying it, radar returns were going back to San Antonio and slowly moving east.
The precip ended around 6pm Friday, 18 hours later than Pat predicted, after having iced over all of south Louisiana, shutting down roads, bridges, and schools.
I just don't get why sometimes the local guys blow off storms when the models are clearly indicating otherwise. I remember "Nelson Knows" saying he was certain Gustav was headed for Mexico. These guys never learn.

Jay Grimes is the best in BR

Yet on Wednesday night, after the models were clearly indicating something different, Grimes said exactly what Shingleton did. I sometimes wonder if their old ages jade their perspective of what could happen, not just what climatology says should occur. I respect Grimes a lot too

When should the wintry mix begin on Tuesday? Is it at night?

I think it's too early to know right now. It sure looks like something will happen though.

I'd say slightly before midnight on Monday would be the best guess. I am concerned about the impending road closures should watches go up as soon as tommorow night. This past ice storm will certainly mean over preparation in every aspect (which is a good thing) although not convienent

I guess flying into Baton Rouge on Tuesday will not happen?

WBRZ trying to cover their arse...give themselves a "C" on the previous winter weather forecast.

"Overall, I'd grade this forecast at a C. No, that's not the A for which we strive, but we did broadcast this possibility early in the week, which was good. Given the limitations of technology, the information with which we had to work, I thought the forecast made was strong. This is also a "once every few years" type of event, that makes for a dynamic forecasting challenge in this region. Present me with the same model output in the same scenario, and I'd make the same forecast. (Ironically that opportunity may come as soon as January 27-29, 2013.)"
"That patience that most have with the professionals in our field is commendable and unwaveringly appreciated. Most of the time, it goes unnoticed when we forecast "Sunny and 75°" and nail it, or even when we say "showers will begin around 3pm" and it's raining in your backyard by 3:05pm. It's the major weather events, especially wintry precipitation, that are most scrutinized and coincidentally the most difficult to understand."
