As I was telling Buckeye, this isn't our storm but the next 10-15 days are going to be exciting. We have 2 storms coming to track, that both are dropping over an inch qpf. So, while this storm sucks for most of us, I think we are in a favorable pattern for a major winter storm. That being said. Look at it this way. The previous pattern, we were getting blocked from everything. We had storms rocking until they reached OH and then fizzled to nothing, so while it sucks that this storm may be rain/zr this is the setup we need to have the shot at getting a big storm. Also the pattern for central OH, at least, has been to get a little snow and then a little rain with the next system. So there is a good chance we see one, possibly two major storms within the next 10-15 days.

Local mets down here in Kentucky have been talking about an Upper Level Low type storm for Friday and Saturday, although I have yet to see the GFS catch on that yet.

I aint buying it, the 18z nam for the last 2 days has been doing weird things whlie its 0z and 12 z runs have been more consistent.

Well, the storm is still on track. I think what could happen is we start modelling colder for the front precip thump. Afterall, that will be more under the influence of the pressing cold so if the HP is stronger, (which it is on the nam), the low level cold could be as well....until the storm moves in of course.

I would almost guarantee that on the 0z run you will see that high weaker. I know I have no idea what I am talking about. This is just a hunch!

ILN has pretty weak wording...sounds like they barely pulled the trigger. .25 ice and inch of sleet and snow

Buckeye, I seem to recall a storm 2 years ago similar to this set up except it was over us. I remember cleveland firing the gun and puting out watches for 8-12" for fredericktown and It shifted the day before to screw us all.. correct.. btw here is my call for the start as we stand now.

CLE going with 8-12" which is extremely gutsy for Cleveland. I think sleet will kill that number in half.

I'd shift the thunderstorms possible area north... I think thunderstorms are possible as far north as St. Louis, Chicago, and Detroit with this storm. Strong dynamics aloft and unseasonable amount of Gulf moisture.

The yellow on my map are severe thunderstorms.. I didn't include that into the snow area.. That'd be a hassle trying to explain a yellow strip for thunderstorms where snow is supposed to be happening. Yes I know thundersnow and all, but for the sake of confusion, I just went with heavy snow over there lol
