I actually agree. This will be a case where Dilly gets all pissed because it will be almost all rain, but the thing is, it's just reality. There really never was any potential for us with this one.

I'm not worried yet. 30 mile south shift and I'm golden. Id start as rain and switch to snow with a shift of 30 miles and would be in the 6-8" snow. I guess we shall see who wins the battle gfs or euro, one of them will cave today.

Aside that Jay, I got my 6" storm so no complaining either way. Would kinda suck to have it melt away so fast, but it happens.

dilly never says "die"...he's the toughest met on here :arrowhead:

Well I'm not a met for starters. Just a weather weenie like most here. And I typically will throw the towel in fairly quickly. I won't with this one yet because it is so close for me. If I were south of I-70. Id say game over. North of I-70 still has a shot.

Any chance of snow for Toledo? It looks like a good track, but for some reason, despite the low passing way south, it's really warm out ahead of it resulting in some rain and then there's a really sharp cutoff once the colder air finally works in. Weird.

That's fine. I just don't see it. There's just no cold air to work with until it's long gone.

toledo is in a pretty good spot right now for 4+ accums...this puppy could keep moving north

Nam is mostly snow on the 12z run. 4-6"

One thing to watch out for is that ridge over the east coast... I don't know if I buy this being as progressive as the models show with that hanging on over there. So that could allow for greater QPF. But you'd have to watch out for dry slots. One would think the deformation zone would setup over NW Ohio though and the dry slot would be further south from CVG to DAY to CMH.

The last storm was mostly a 6-hour type deal, this could be a 12-15 hour storm.

lol. All models are showing a virtual snow hole right over Toledo. I believe they are conspiring against you. :whistle:

Just ran BUKFIT on the latest GFS and it gets super ice happy...Takes CMH below freezing in time for 0.40" of freezing rain then an inch of snow. I looked at the plot of the 1300m (1000-850 thickness) line on accuweather from the 12z GFS and it runs well ahead of the 540 line. That 1300m line was the rain/snow changeover on Monday so we might get more snow/ice here in Columbus than some are currently thinking.

Not backing down!

Probably not a big deal... but doesn't the euro have a "warm" bias wrt temps? If you could share CLE's stat it would be much appreciated.

Just unreal the differences this close. 7 difference in the two. Pick your poison I guess. I can say this. Euro is going to bust with todays temps. My high today is 44. I'm still at 27.

Its a tug of war to say the least. I still favor the darn EURO but maybe the 2m temps are too warm... How do the tracks of the low compare?

For comparisons they are acting similar with the Monday system.

You can look at the mos data I posted and see big difference in the low track. Euro brings a 992 over me. And the lowest the gfs gets is 1002.

Looking at the free maps... it seemed to take a track more toward SE OH but I may be mistaken. Euro temps are the wild card here. How did the Euro handle your temps for the last storm?
