I’m saying there isn’t going to be any accumulation in SE LA to start with.

Freezing rain doesn’t “accumulate” like snow. Do you even know what freezing rain is?

Still nothing accumulating in St George. I bet they canceled school for nothing.

Freezing rain occurs when snowflakes descend into a warmer layer of air and melt completely. When these liquid water drops fall through another thin layer of freezing air just above the surface, they don't have enough time to refreeze before reaching the ground. Because they are “supercooled,” they instantly refreeze upon contact with anything that that is at or below freezing (32 degrees F), creating a glaze of ice on the ground, trees, power lines, or other objects. Even light accumulations can cause dangerous travel, while heavier amounts can cause significant damage to trees and power lines. A significant accumulation of freezing rain lasting several hours or more is called an ice storm.

Maybe you should have done a bit of research yourself

Look at the temp spread from McComb to Natchez

Drove from New Roads to BR just now, and temperature was 10 degrees warmer in BR.

I didn’t say it didn’t accumulate. I said it doesn’t “accumulate like snow.” It won’t be freezing rain until, you know, the temperature is at or below freezing.

Actually 13 degrees. Left at 300 at 37 F and arriving now at 50 F.
