Too early to call. We have a rain storm that has to go first. My gut says this trends southeast. Another positively tilted trough opening up as it heads east with a fairly weak storm/wave riding the front. Also pretty decent banana high in place. I just saw the 12zUkmet just crushed the storm into nonexistence.

Looks like there is an initial storm around Tuesday that will be a rainer for most.... it's what happens after that. All the models are showing that once the first storm goes through the baroclinic zone sinks south of us and the gulf opens up again. Looks like a possible chance of a nice overrunning event later next week. 6z euro ens shows this as well now. All caveats are possible.... if return flow is stronger with a stronger low, we warm tongue.... if front pushes further south we smoke cirrus. I'm feeling good for something wintry, hopefully not ice though.

Next weekend might be our next system to watch. All models are trying to put something together....euro looks interesting. Hopefully we're tracking again by Tuesday.

Airport and Bexley are on the eastside which made a huge difference. Big difference in totals from nw Franklin county to se Franklin county. Interestingly my daughter and her fiance came in from Clinton township Michigan which is north of Detroit and they said we have more snow then them.

Nice pics. I'll be kind and not bump those first few posts from you and pondo yesterday morning So now it's time for the post tracking blues made worse by an extended that has nothing but cold and dry for the next 10 days. I hear JB says winter dies in 3 weeks. If he's saying it, it's probably a good bet since he never forecasts winter's end this early. I'm ok with that, AS LONG AS WE GO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. CAD in late Feb into spring is miserable.

little bit of a lull right now.....light snow and light pingers

oh you're not very far from me. You aren't all sleet are you? I just took my dog out and I could definitely feel the sting of the ping in the snow falling.

Yea if you're in Bexley makes sense since it's eastside of downtown.... it'll switch back. Still lot of qpf on the way

Pretty sure we have some taint in there too. Hrrr showed a potential msnow to mix. Shouldn't last too long.

full on snowstorm here.... finally nice to see it this winter

ugh, it's ripping in westerville

How much snow you expecting? good question, I haven't even checked. Last I saw it was 3-7. The way the models have handled this it's all radar from here out.

all snow in westerville, I feel like I've been in line at the bmv all day and they finally called my number

first flakes mixing in westerville

Pondo should be up next, I think he's the farthest nw in Columbus vicinity..... don't disappoint us buddy!

agree, precip all the way back to arkansas

pretty confident once we go to snow we stay snow

slop/snow line.... as it sinks southeast that moisture down in TN should skirt along with it moving northeast and there should be a nice zone of snow setting up nearby.

not picking on you guys....i totally get the frustration.

thank you back in the old'n days of posting they would ban posters who would make posts that were all whines and woe- is-me and who cancelled the storm in the first quarter. I mean I get it, I love snow too and yes I would be disappointed if 90% fell as sleet but nothing we can do about it and all the ranting and complaining ain't gonna change that. This is a dynamic set up, yes, it could turn into sleetfest '22 for some including me, or we could get sleet followed by a really nice thump, (which I think is more likely). But I'll sit back, watch it unfold and let the weather do it's thing.

just checked the cameras at my office in lewis center and still very light there too

you're in dublin right? One thing that has surprised me so far is how light the sleet has been here.

this is the latest hrrr, it's the 18hr panel, (5am), that's 16 hrs from now. None of us know for sure what the sleet to snow ratio is going to end up. Feb sleet storm was always on the table but so is a nice snow storm. More likely a combination that would make us happy to have any other time. Relax and enjoy the tracking, otherwise why the hell are we here. x I

you're where the red dot is, we got a little time
