Ohio and surrounding states (Let's talk winter!)

This GFS 12z accumulation map shows that Ohio should get 0.1" to 0.3". Most areas north of the Ohio River will get snow with this. I suppose it's quite important what areas get 0.1" vs 0.3" or perhaps a minor jackpot with a couple extra inches of snow. Looks like a very open type trough at 500mb and 700mb with a weak surface low. The low should be only 1010mb-1012mb while near Columbus. The average-ness of the pressure and open-ness of the 500mb trough makes it sound like almost a non-event, but 0.1-0.3" is not bad in winter.

Nice little storm..2-4 is worth some talk!!

What's more interesting to me is the snow on snow part of this. That's pretty rare in Columbus. Usually when we have a snowstorm it's followed by cold and dry, and then either a warm up or rain event knocking out all the snow for the next one.

GGEM is advertising another southern stream system streaking snow into the OV for early next week again. Other models show this potential too.

snow on snow on snow ???????

I still can't believe a thread for a WWA event was deleted. The idea of having a thread be for two separate events makes no sense. That thread is extremely confusing.

i don't get it either in fact I even subtitled the thread to indicate the difference. It really is two separate events.... 3 if you want to throw in the lake effect aspect. oh well.

It happens, but typically only in really snowy (10"+ above normal) winters. February 2003, February 2010, January 1996, January 1999 are all recent examples.

next one already on deck? New Years Day. I'd bet this one juices up on the models over the next few days...these ones out of the sw are famous for that.

Damn, was I ever wrong about nothing exciting after that last storm.... you guys were right.

It's pretty rare even up here in the NE part of the state to get snow on snow. I'm liking this nickel and dime pattern. Forget the biggies as they rarely perform around here. The small ones can add up... and usually deliver.
