Dustin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 my theory on why we stayed so cold is that, looking at unisys, an HP over the northern great lakes actually strengthened. Probably kept winds out of the northeast longer Lots of factors involved in keeping us below freezing... Really strong cold conveyor, trajectory of the surface low / low level warm air, timing. It is rare for CMH to see all of these factors come together for an icing event of this magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 CMH trying hard to get above freezing, I just don't think it will make it. not before it stops raining at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Up to 32.9F now. Sidewalk is not quite as icy, a bit more slushy. Trees appear to have 1/2" or maybe .6" on them. Someone reported 0.9" on the west side which seems a little high... Didn't hear or see any trees cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Heavy snow in Toledo... but looks like we're about to be dryslotted within the hour. Although there is some more snow developing in Indiana which may move here later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wonder if it gets abouve 32 if it'll melt the ice off the trees and lines before the winds arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcmh81 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wonder if that snow around St. Louis will eventually wrap back towards us. Wraparound is rarely good here, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wonder if that snow around St. Louis will eventually wrap back towards us. Wraparound is rarely good here, but who knows. was wondering the same thing earlier. Hope it does, it'd at least look nice having a couple inches on the trees with all that ice Both the nam and gfs give between .10 - .15 with cold cold temps so could pick up 2-3 inches back side snow.

JayPSU Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Here's something I've never seen before. There's a truck across the street from the water company with a big yellow tool of some kind behind it making some kind of machine type noise. I have no idea what on earth it's doing.

JayPSU Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 ice scraper, perhaps? I have no idea. The truck is just sitting there with a yellow tool that's in a trailer behind the truck.

Madmaxweather Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We have some Buckeye specials on the table in the next 7 days then mother load cold comes and the party could crash by Presidents Day Weekend with warm up.JB thinks DC could hit 70 the second half the month...

Madmaxweather Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Speaking of the warmth I think its very believable. Were simply due for a thaw which we have not had since the 1-2 day thaw around New Years. The rest of the winter has been snowy and below average. When is the last time in a winter have we been this cold consistently? I think the midwest could get a severe weather outbreak before the cold snaps back late February-March and something tells me but call me stupid but the OV could be in for an 08 type March snowstorm. The road I feel leads to that after a two week warm stretch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Based off of radar, I switched to plain rain here. Wonder if it'll help melt it off the lines and trees before the wind comes. I am doubtful. I am betting that as the temps are just above freezing it will still freeze onto the lines and trees. Rain isnt going to be warm enough to melt it I don't think.
