Messy convection in IL and moisture staying south. I think the main threat will line up more into Kentucky.

Clouds look to be closing off the clearing rather quickly from the rain in KY/TN. Question will be whether that serves to hold off premature convection or shunts everything altogether.

Somewhat of a surprise 2” system this morning. Thought we were done lol

KCMH reported 4.4” soo the streak goes on, but what a storm. I got around 5.5” near OSU campus, but a lot of my friends just 15-20 miles north got 6”-8”. Crazy that just 24 hours before the snow fell ILN has us at less than an inch.

Columbus could break its 9 year no snow over 6” streak!

The radar looks pretty beefy out west and a bit more north than the HRRR and NAM. Our high temp will be important in deciding accumulation efficiency today.

Looks like a pretty broad 1-2 event tomorrow. Might be limited by warm surface

It's over

They have a cooling tower for their snowmaking water supply. It's a really impressive setup and can cover the entire hill with just a 48 hour window of below 30 degree temps.

I finished up around 1.9" and could get more overnight, but yes we have had a more Nashville like climo. However, from those plots I've been sharing in the banter thread, Nashville has gotten a handful of big storms while we haven't.

They did really well in the Feb 15, 2021 storm where they reported 6.8" and the Feb 3, 2022 where they reported 7.3"...along with a handful of others during the same time frame. Just in Ohio both Cincinnati and Dayton have also had multiple 6"+ storms during this time as well.

With the warmup coming, it seems likely that Columbus's drought of winters without a 6"+ snowfall will reach 9 years. Last time was Feb 21, 2015. I've played around with plotting for cities in our region and have only found Louisville, KY to have a drought this long.

I measured 1.5" around 9am on OSU campus. This one didn't quite produce

Wilmington having a pretty sharp cutoff between the 1-2 and 3-5 areas. Should still be a nice event.
