With the possibility of sleet accumulation as well, it won't be. It doesn't lessen the severity of the event. An Ice Storm Warning is only issued of the main precip type is expected to be all freezing rain with no mix.

Winter Storm Warning covers same criteria for HGX regarding an Ice Storm. So the Winter Storm Warning is correct for our area.
