Chicago WX Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well they updated the criteria too. im pretty sure there used to be an amount on the ground to meet the criteria. Yeah, it's been updated. Temperature used to be part of criteria back in the day, believe it or not. Not sure about amounts, but could have been. Anyway, good luck with the storm. You guys are sitting pretty in OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdudemike Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Little worried about ice storm potential...Hoping that here in NE Cincy it is either all snow and sleet or a cold rain. I'll take rain at 33 degrees over rain at 31 degrees any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcmh81 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Just got back from xmas dinner. Just looked at 00z NAM and looks a touch colder. Amazing amounts of precip.... If it can stay all snow or mostly snow WOW. If it stays even half snow, it'd still be one of the largest December snowfalls on record. All snow and we're talking top 10 all-time.

Hey you know what, as long as that huge tree outside my north window doesn't come crashing down it's all good I'm a junior this year. Could graduate next fall semester, but may stick around to do an internship in the spring. We'll see how it shakes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespasian70 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Light snow here too. As buckeye said before, if we start as snow we should stay snow. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvsnow Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 S+ in Bellbrook and 31 degrees....but don't like the radar sigs. Looks like sleet just to our south almost upon us. Noted sleet sigs as far north as Franklin in Indiana on the other thread....that's south Indy suburb. Any confidence boosters appreciated...keep the sleet and freezing rain out of here!
