Hoosier Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It is, actually. Temps and dewpoints, at least in central Ohio, are pretty close to each other, so it should not actually take that long for snow to start... provided it gets here. And I do think it will. Per the 00z ILN RAOB, the air above the surface is very dry so it will take time to saturate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw snow showers and flurries a good part of the day today. I gotta think that's in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta disagreewith ya on this one JB. The band of snow looks identical to what the models are showing. So I'm thinking models are correct. Just don't think it makes it past I70 and close to i70 I don't think will see more than an inch. Hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Been snowing here since about 6:20 this morning. Nothing heavy, just a steady light snow. Have picked up about an inch or so. Really sharp cutoff. Looks like Pickaway County got slammed most of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 We had flurries all morning, but it became steadier around 8:30. Wow, well I'm just south of 70 on the west side and have had steady light snow for more than 3 hours now, I guess 2 hours before you guys on the north end. That's one sharp cutoff. I think I will end up with about 2" by the time things wrap up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swohiowxnut Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Really surprised to see 3-4 inches of snow this morning as the local weathermen were saying 1-2. Still coming down at a pretty good clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayton is a small market, so I guess the sucky ones get sent here. I should start watching Cincinnati since I'm only 45 miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyGreens Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Left Delaware at 830 this morning with no snow and headed to Marion to work where there was some blue sky showing up. Very sharp cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sharp cutoff. Yeah, the models were right about the cutoff, but some did better than others on how far north the snow set up. NAM was a total failure as it had 0.0" for Columbus and obviously that's a bust. Though I bet the airport reports an inch or less come 5pm.

jbcmh81 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Not a flake here. Yeah, you ended up being just a bit too far north. The amounts will probably be pretty widespread across Franklin County, from maybe an inch or less far north to close to 3 or more far south. I'm going to be around 2". Just a very picturesque light to occasional moderate snow. Have a moderate burst now. Looks like another hour or two and it's over. Is the stuff in northern Illinois supposed to dry out as it heads southeast? I would assume so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Lake Erie is starting to freeze over. Looking out the window, here in Cleveland the ice has 50% covered the inner breakwater and lots of chunks outside. Current lake temperatures are running 3 weeks ahead of schedule with the temperature at Cleveland running 5 degrees below normal. This could have huge implications on the upcoming winter here. CLE was salvaged from the brunt of the main lake snows this month, and will be starting a snowfall deficit come Saturday again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLE was salvaged from the brunt of the main lake snows this month, and will be starting a snowfall deficit come Saturday again. Amazing how quickly the lake freezes due to it being so shallow. I bet the western basin is mostly ice covered at this point. Ice will continue to form but at a slower pace as the temps are not going to be as cold. Light winds will help with ice formation though. This is going to really cut back on LES.... just how much is the question. I'm at 33 inches for the season so no complaints about snowfall. It would be nice for the lake to remain unfrozen later in the season like the other lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice for the lake to remain unfrozen later in the season like the other lakes. This winter has been 95%+ LES for northeast Ohio. The storm downtown last Wednesday was incredible and likely won't be topped this winter. It's sort of a shame because it set a precedent of expectations with a high bar before our first regional system snow. The west shore from Lakewood west and points south towards CLE have had nothing substantial this winter yet. It could be the season of have and have nots by neighborhood in Cuyahoga County. The lake freezing is a bit of a concern with enhancement accounting for 25% of our seasonal total. With cold air in place for the next week its only going to get more icy. The wind and consistancy of the snow has settled to the grass here. How much would you say is left on the east side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 If henry makes a map whoever he puts in the bullseye 99% of the time misses. So its a 99% chance that storm is going out to sea which opens the door for the 21st storm. Trust me, with Henry its an exact science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
