A zone of of prolonged freezing rain will extended the I-20 corridor from Atlanta to Augusta to Columbia, SC. Model freezing rain liquid equivalent totals in this area exceed 2 inches. While drip loss will be relatively high with accretion efficiencies likely only being in the 30-40% range due to the high precipitation rates and the temperatures likely remaining close to the freezing point, this still yields radial ice accretion amounts of .50-75″ which would cause widespread electrical distribution disruptions and tree damage.
