Paweatherguy1 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I can't even see the street lights, all i see is a orange orb within the snow. Gravity wave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just went for a walk.... About 5" in what I would consider moderate snow at the moment. A good bit windier than I thought. Looks like the airport is gusting to 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Lights went out at the arena earlier. Not sure if that's due to the storm or something else. Haven't heard any thunder here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wow! I have 5 inches on the ground now! I changed over completely 3 hours ago! Some of that might be the sleet I was getting earlier, but still a lot in a short period of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It's kinda weird, but every so often a few tiny raindrops hit my window. Although it could be a few snow grains melting on contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 We knew this to be the case going in...but the back end is racing past Columbus. I think all hell could still break loose for another hour or so.....then things should wind down. Hoping we can finish this off with a bang and get a couple more inches.
