We are approaching the great Christmas storm of Dec '04, IND has a link: https://www.weather.gov/ind/dec2004snow I (only) got about 12" IMBY but most areas around KDAY had 16 to 24"! SE of I-71 In Ohio had a monster ice storm!

I'm not sure but looked like just under an inch IMBY on grass & elevated surfacess, but melted quickly after 9am. Might get over 1" in the 2nd wave tonight in SW Ohio. PS - I saw north of Milwaulkee is just under 7" right now and should top that with a little more, but I doubt that much makes it into the Indiana/Ohio areas.

This is scary as not only its the 50th year since Xenia, but this coming Memorial Weekend will be the 5th aniversay of the terrible tornadoes that tore up the Dayton area again! This year with 2 waves of serious tornado out breaks before April in Ohio is NUTS!

Topped out at 3.5" IMBY, with all of the ILN upped totals calling for 4-6" was yet another bust for me (original forecast of 2-4" was right on). My season total is now 7.5" which means I'm still in the running for the least snowiest winter since I moved to the Dayton area in '86, the actual least amount was 8" three times with a couple in the late 90s and one in the early 2000s.

In the past 15 minutes the snow went heavy (close to 1"/hour rate looks like) and everything is white including all roads, visibility 1/4 mile tops IMBY.

ILN just went with a Winter Storm Warning now, but didn't adjust any snow totals, about 1" now IMBY.

Light snow here for the past hour, radar looks promising with thunder snow in S. Illinois! ILN just upped our totals again area wide to 4 to 6" now! Edit: At 5:15 picked up a half inch so far on elevated surfaces.

ILN just updated their forecast and upped the I-70 corridor to 3 to 5", radar show virga over SW Greene county and I swear I heard thunder about 10mins ago?

Sweet GFS 12z has a foot of snow for the Dayton area Monday night into Tuesday morning! Also piles another 8 inches over the next two weeks! You know you can lock that in for S. Ohio

Was in Hocking Hills this weekend for the Old Man's Cave Annual Winter Hike, and for the first time since Jan'14 we had decent snow and well below freezing weather. As a matter of fact we got just under 6" of snow thru this morning about 2 miles north of Old Man's Cave in the center of Hocking Co.

Well looks like Thurs/Friday this week we might break 1" IMBY, and maybe up to 8" of fluff along and south of I-70 when its all done.

Damn the GFS eye candy has been impressive over the past week for the next 2 weeks! https://pivotalweather.com/model.php?rh=2024010612&fh=384&dpdt=&mc=&r=us_ov&p=snku_acc-imp&m=gfs

Whoa! Jan 6th and I got 1/4 of a skiff of the 1st synaptic snow of the entire season (a skiff I think is a few flakes deep acording to how my dad viewed it)!!! Also its been exactly 10 years since we've had a real winter here in S. Ohio! Maybe this is a hint...

Hi All, was too busy to post thsi yesterday, but the 06z GFS yesterday morning had a monster glitch in the matrix where it had 15"+ for SW Ohio/Dayton area for the next 16 days! Not sure I've ever seen a model screw up this bad! The last time I had a day of 1" of rain or more was mid-April, and nothing over a half inch since May 7. So on pins and needles today with ILN's 1" to 1.5" in the forcast with later this afternoon and evening that my Kentucky Brown Grass desperately needs (and so my wife will stop bellyaching about me watering so much), I'm like I'm only keeping it alive, I haven't mowed in 3 1/2 weeks!

I'm at 17.25" of snow total IMBY so far this winter, my gut feeling that may double in one event, in April!
