usedtobe Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I can't find a single snow ob in OH/WV anywhere.....Is it snowing anywhere right now? Good question! that's why I think it will be hard to get more than scattered flurries plus the vort just doesn't look that strong to me. Vorts like it rarely produce measurable snows.

Ian Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm not even excited about this chance and I am desperate...maybe we see a flurry? your gchat number was higher than mine. i liked the second vort but now the nam has it way south. i just wanted 10 minutes of light snow and a dusting.

Ger Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Got some 20-25dbz returns popping around the oh/ky border with the first 500 ul energy swinging through. The optimistic weenie side of me is saying we see some flakes this evening before the big daddy rolls through after midnight. "big daddy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "big daddy?" Well, not looking good for round 2 anymore but the original prog showed at least 145 flakes with the first vort and maybe as much as 960 flakes with the second vort. Now it looks like we'll take our 0-2 flakes and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 On the back edge, Parkersburg was about 1.5 mi visibility. It looks like the snow lasted there for about an hour. The best anyone (WV or wherever) sees in this first pulse is probably like what we saw Christmas night 1993- a quick burst of intense snow that coats the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Today's activity in this thread pretty much sums up how bad our winter has been so far. The fact that we are analyzing a vort that at best drops a light dusting and hoping we just see flakes fall is kinda silly........but I'm all in anyway.
