Still a complete crush job on the 12z Euro for NW Ohio while it's peanuts on the NAM. I think CLE likely goes ahead with a Winter Storm or Ice Storm Warning tomorrow morning if we can get some model consensus, that east wind off the icy lake should help metro Toledo combat surface temp increases coming from both the warm surge of air aloft along with the latent heat release that comes with freezing rain
I kinda like this pattern to be honest. As someone who used to live in South Carolina this feels like a true winter. And it hasn't got to the point snowfall wise where travel is paralyzed for days following a massive storm. We put a mini rink in my buddy's backyard and it's been a fun time recently skating outdoors.
Why do you say that? It looks like the coldest temps in years are possible and we keep getting these 2-3” hits. It’s as winter as you could hope it could be
Looks like 5-7” across most of Southern IN/OH. Watching radar returns throughout the day it looks like the warm surge was a little more northwards than anticipated. Still, the storm lived up to the hype
Thank you! Absolutely ridiculous complaining. I have to give a tip of the hat to the Euro here, it was pretty dang on point days ago in the medium range. One of the more accurately modeled snowstorms I've ever seen. I'm pretty intrigued at that Gulf low next weekend to see what it can bring
Eh it isn’t all sunshine and roses for the Ohio River Valley. With that warm air surging in you’re going to see sleet and freezing rain encroach on those snow totals a bit
Pretty impressive this high is this strong with no snowpack aid at the surface really at all. Congrats to Indy, Cincy, Columbus & Pittsburgh. I'm just happy I'll be able to go over to Mt Brighton for some fake snow for the next few weeks
Yup, the low is over Central KY now and not the KY/TN border. It's still hard to think based on climatology that the main swath won't be more north towards the US 30/224 corridor
What was bad about December? It was a bit chilly but too soggy in the last third. I’d rather see snow over this cold rain but I wouldn’t mind some dry and mild weather. Unfortunately it looks like the dry air will be accompanied by stiff cold
As I said on the 30th, the pressure seemed a bit underdone considering all the energy at play here. Compared to yesterday's runs it's a tick more north and a bit stronger. I'd still favor the US 30 to US 20 corridor getting a nice thump of snow with ice concerns along the Ohio River and up into Columbus
Definitely needed RainX on that drive haha! It's definitely the soupiest it's been here in months, I think folks forget just how dry our Summer and Fall were. The severe thunderstorm spigot pretty much turned off after April
