I think you can be optimistic too! Last year’s sleet fest storm for example. You were like no way we don’t get more snow than what the models are showing. But I agree, none of us are gonna be able to measure accurately. Let’s just enjoy the show (what we can with it being dark)! I am planning on staying up as late as my body lets me. I already had planned the day off tomorrow.
I was actually pulling for one of the west/stronger solutions to pan out. It would have been cool to see how such a dynamic storm would have played out, even around here. Now, it’s nothing special for anyone.
It’s looking like frontal passage which is no surprise. Lived here long enough to know that central Ohio does best with a clipper pattern which have been elusive the last several years. Big storms just don’t really occur in these parts. If they do, it’s usually some sort of taint that’s involved or a full fledged sleet storm like last February.
GFS seems to be trending towards Euro. Then Euro has another little wave for Monday that gives a minor accumulation. That Monday one is probably one that either gets us a little something or gets squashed completely.
