How come my weather app, nor the local news (that I know of anyway) aren't reporting anything close to this?

What weather app are you using?
Accuweather was showing 8 as the low for Monday in Ville Platte; currently showing 13.

Because they are wisely erring toward historical norms and only one model at this point is coming in ridiculously cold, but the Euro doesn't seem to agree on the pattern with everyone else either. So there's good reason to play conservative right now.
The details are still very much in question. The picture will clear up, as always, as we get a day or two away from the artic blast.

1 model does not a forecast make

The weather channel I believe.
Not questioning the weather experts here. I get 90% of my weather info from these guys on the major systems when they post them.

Any updates on Orlando forecast for Citrus Bowl? And if it’s rain, is it going to be a lot or intermittent?
Posted on 12/27/17 at 10:45 am to Paul Allen
I'd rather know the Orlando forecast for the 6 days after the Citrus bowl...

Looking at our NWS office, they're basically stuck blending the Euro model and GFS model until there's more certainty between them. The details and evolution are still very uncertain. The public mets and NWS have to play this pretty close to the vest with the immense degree of uncertainty.
In short, have an idea of what you need to do in the case of extreme cold with ice on the roads and potentially no power. That's worst case but possible. Otherwise, just keep an eye on things over the next few days and hope we don't get freezing rain followed by days of below freezing at new years.

If this system comes through South La NYE, are we looking at widespread road closures NYD?

At this point I'm prepared for the worst. PJ already said there was no way we will have freezing temperatures for 3 days. So that means I'll have ice hanging from my balls for a minimum of 3 days, and will drive to work on a 6 inch layer of ice. What the models and TD experts think at this point is pretty much irrelevant.

The wrench is the potential for ice proceeding the deep freeze for NYD. That case, south Louisiana is basically shut down road wise. The bridges certainly would be a slick nightmare.
No precip and just cold, well that's a lot more manageable. A really deep cold snap will be dry and allow moisture to evaporate. So we'd likely just have spotty bridge problems and drivable roads.
As is normally the case, north and west of the lake is at a much greater risk of serious cold and potential freezing rain. Not going to know much more until Friday and Saturday.

Im just wondering as people go leave Friday for they NYE destinations/celebrations should expect to be stranded come Monday when it's time to head home?
Posted on 12/27/17 at 11:05 am to tgrbaitn08
My guess is if there is precip, the roads and bridges will be icy NYD morning to midday. Once the ice melts (temps mid 30s above freezing) it'll be safe to drive for a few hours in the afternoon before everything refreezes at night again. Just a guess...

Have a plan in mind for the possibility but right now no one can really say with certainty if the worst will play out.

My current plan is to go to Picayune the 31st-2nd. Leave early on the 2nd and head back to Houston. I sort of need to be back so I will be watching closely.
