yea just horrible. Low pressure cuts for Michigan, than high pressure follows, than low pressure attacks the departing high and heads to Michigan again.... wash, rinse, repeat. Just bring me a torch....Feb, March 2012 sounds awesome right now.

I didn't know we had a storm to track lol.

I don't necessarily agree. I guess we'll have a good test coming up when the mjo starts taking the cold phases tour late next week. We'll see what real weather is doing.

Mods are all over the place days 4 -7. They can't even agree on what day has a storm much less what the track and strength is. I was surprised,to see the euro go warmer and more in the cutter direction since, it's the quickest to get the mjo into 8.

Was just outside, pretty close to 6" here. Biggest one of the season. Curious to see what Columbus airport comes in at.

Nice 4-6er

One of the reason I like an early spring and loathe a winter that refuses to completely give up....like last year. I love snow on snow....it's so rare though. Nothing like tracking the next event while you're in the midst of a warning level event. It seems like the big dogs tend to wash away within a few days. March'08 was the unicorn exception. Not only was it the largest snowfall in cmh history, it actually had better and longer staying power than most of our mid winter events. Speaking of March '08.... for old time sakes. I took this pic driving around during that storm in Westerville. sigh

...just sucks that it's bringing in a torch vs a cold wave.....but I would be the walking definition of ingrate if I poo-poo'd this one.

Thoughts about the clipper, - i-70 is bullseyed by most models wrt best snow - snow will be falling with very cold air and surface temps, which could open the door for a fluffy over-performer. On the flip side, such cold temps could end up turning this into a pixie blizzard too, which would hurt accums. - We'll have a nice 24-36 hr winter wonderland before the torch comes a knock'n. - I guess I'll take the grateful approach on this one. Assuming it doesn't find a way to fail, it's a snow event, which is why we're all here.

gfs says mid 50s-60 mon - wed. Unreal. After our quickly-doomed snowfall on thursday night.... we have 3 rainstorms in a row lined up to bat. Looks like rain will continue to rule our weather world as we roll into and through 2019, despite the pattern or time of year. Looks like after our 3 rainstorms, the next 2 storms go under us and are snowstorms for TN into the Carolinas

Kind of interesting because I don't recall ILN forecasting below zero temps through the afternoon. If that's the case, tonights low might beat forecasts. All of this with just a dusting of snow...just imagine if we had a deep snowcover.... we'd be sitting double digits below zero at noon

Temp continues to drop. I now have -6 as the sky clears up with bright sunshine. If this drop continues through the afternoon, we would be comparable to the 94 outbreak where afternoon temps were between -6 and -8.

ok i'm taking the bait... ....jb

So I left my driveway and it was 0 according to my truck. When I got to my office it was -3. What's impressive is it's actually windy out. Usually you get these cold shots like this and it's under strong HP that just settles in and everything is still.

Snow in front of the thaw Rain in front of the freeze It's how we roll

Yup, definitely could see that.

....screw this I'm moving to Philly....a REAL snow town!

Meh,,everything that can happen to mute or ruin a threat has happened this winter. Why expect that to change now.

So we have 2 cutters in front of the day 9 event. It is supposed to go south of us as the baroclinic boundary is pulled further south by the preceding 2 cutters. Im not holding my breath. Either we'll be licked by the wtod or the baroclinic boundary will be pulled further south and KY will get a snowstorm while we smoke cirrus.

You won't see me arguing against the duller version of outcomes this winter. Sounds good.

Thursday night/friday is a warm air advection set up. Those are another type of set up that can often lead to surprises.

Still holding out hope for a decent squall when the Arctic front moves thru tonight. Probably something the models aren't going to pick up on.

Don't ever recall a winter weather advisory where no precip was expected. Why wouldn't a wind chill warning cover things?

Going to be very difficult to get lower than-10 without snow cover.
