extremewx52 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Right smack in between there (closer to Delaware) in Westerville is me. Praying it's just far enough north. Here in pickerington I am almost banking on sleet mixing in..at least early on. If I don't it will be a pleasant christmas surprise for me! I have seen too many of these storms go to sleet or all rain here, stay mostly snow there in westerville, and deleware gets destroyed. March 2008 stayed all snow here though. Maybe same will happen here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckster2013 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Local radar down here looks like a bad pizza infested with mold. My prediction? 0-14" of snow and/or ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 24 pack for $30. But that's basically the cheapest (and you're right, crappiest) stuff you can find. At least you get the extra 0.5% alcohol though. Completely off topic... but when I was in Kansas they had 40 ouncers of the same stuff you can buy here for $12ish... as opposed to $30+. $12 Sutter Home wine only $4.99... 6 pack of Coors tallboys for $4.99 in Enid, OK (that I bought at a service station at 2am.)... $18 here. Also bought a 22 case of Bud Light for $15. Smokes were $4 instead of $10. Was buying this stuff for the novelty of it. The LCBO is highway robbery. Oh, and Boxing Day Storm.

harrisale Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well that's: YYZ in at 0.72" YKF in at 0.55" Well I'm happy with that 2012 Boxing Day Storm lock it in As an aside, the cheapest booze I've ever purchased was in Wisconsin. $9.00 for a 40oz bottle of "Nikolai" Vodka, make in KY haha.

Snowstorms Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Dammm.. Case of bud here is $17.00 and you get a free NFL pint glass. 6-8" is going to make the landscape gorgeous and its been awhile since that much so its going to be extra amazing. Good luck and enjoy to you and all.. I'm happy for ya's and its been a fun one as always to follow along. Lots of action just not a lot of snow results for a lot of us this december. Hopefully January is another active month but I don't really like our chances as much as i do for the southern and eastern lakes. . Trust me its expensive here, plus we have Tax. Yeah, thanks and I hope you had an amazing Christmas yesterday, looking forward to the New year. Yeah, this month has been quite boring and dead weather wise, this probably the only action we've seen this month, hopefully Jan-March is better. It'd be really surprising if the 0z NAM turned out right, 14 inches, lol. I'm watching the observation charts carefully though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 24 pack for $30. But that's basically the cheapest (and you're right, crappiest) stuff you can find. At least you get the extra 0.5% alcohol though. That's not too horrible but for Bud I guess so. How much do you get back if you return the cans or bottles? I remember the good ole days when we did our yearly Canadian fishing trip.. Gas was cheap compared to today and the American dollar was actually worth a decent amount up there too.. would only cost us about 300 bucks a man for 4 guys for the whole week long trip and that included.. food..beer..gas there and back..boat and motor rental..fishing license..floatplane drop off and pick up at island campsite Today that would cost almost triple i bet. dam OT.. sorry.

extremewx52 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hey Buckeye. RAP wants to dump 18 inches on you. But in more realistic news...At least RAP is holding steady with the rain snow line well southeast of all of us. Hopefully it stays that way!

PatrickSumner Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Here is what the NWS in Indianapolis said about the recent sleet in South Central Indiana: it's all WAA precip ahead of the low.

Jackstraw Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Ok since y'all are talking beer dont slam my butt, I'm learning. Not good at Models but watch Sat loops intensely. First, I asked earlier if the convection in the south could tap the moisture flow north, was flat out told no but an hour later KIND dropped their snowfall estimates by 10-20%. As has been posted on here the ULL has come slightly north of what the models forecast. I've also noticed the trough off the NE coast is exiting quickly now and it looks like ridging is trying to build in from the NE, which I would think would track the low a little farther north again. From the water vapor loop, the dry slot that was over Arkansas is beginning to fill in with some convection which could account for a rain sleet mix that's being reported in SE IN. Southern Ill., Western Kentucky. From watching the sat loops I think the track could be even farther north, as far north as the Ohio River, which none of the models were showing 12 hours ago. My question is, if the ridging materializes to the NE shouldn't it slow the storm some (earlier it was supposed to hit and run) and also now that the convection to the SE is out running the low center is that allowing the dry slot to fill in and could that convection actually energize the low even more and start pumping that moisture farther north the way it was being forecasted earlier today. I'm 30 miles NE of Indy and I feel like from the sat loops, this storm is gonna make another unexpected jump North, and slow down 3- 6 hours from where its forecast to be. Like I said learning, but thats my shot. I think 14 inches highly possible as far north as Marion in Indiana. http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/ecwv.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 IND AFD AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 218 AM EST WED DEC 26 2012 .UPDATE... THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 218 AM EST WED DEC 26 2012 STRONG LOW PRESSURE WAS FOUND OVER NORTHWEST ALABAMA EARLY THIS MORNING. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO PUSH NORTHEAST TO EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND TO AND TO THE VIRGINIAS TONIGHT. AS THE LOW PASSES TO THE SOUTHEAST OF CENTRAL INDIANA...SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL FALL ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY DURING THE MORNING AND AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. HIGH PRESSURE AND COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL ARRIVE IN THE AREA ON THURSDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW AS WINTER ONCE AGAIN MAKES IT/S PRESENCE FELT. DRY AND COLD WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA INTO THE LAST WEEKEND OF 2012 AS THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EAST BUT A QUICK MOVING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH. COLD DRY AIR IN PLACE ACROSS INDIANA AND THE FAR SOUTHERLY TRACK OF THAT SYSTEM SHOULD KEEP INDIANA PRECIPITATION FREE THEN. ANOTHER QUICK MOVING FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...BRINGING MORE CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW. && .NEAR TERM /TODAY/... ISSUED AT 218 AM EST WED DEC 26 2012 STRONG STORM SYSTEM SET TO EFFECT CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY. SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS MORNING SHOWS THE STRONG LOW OVER NORTHEAST ALABAMA. A COLD POLAR HIGH WAS IN PLACE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AS COOL NORTHEAST WINDS WERE FLOWING INTO INDIANA AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS STRONG UPPER LOW OVER NW MISSISSIPPI...WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM OVER GEORGIA AND APPALACHIA...WRAPPING AROUND INTO INDIANA. RECENT RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW STRETCHING FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND NE ARKANSAS. THE GFS AND NAM BOTH AGREE THAT THE SURFACE LOW WILL PUSH TO EASTERN KENTUCKY BY 18Z. THE SYSTEM HAS MANY FEATURES GOING FOR IT. WE WILL START WITH THE 295K GFS ISENTROPIC SURFACE WHICH VERY STRONG UP GLIDE AHEAD OF THE LOW THIS MORNING. WITH SPECIFIC HUMIDITIES IN EXCESS OF 4 G/KG PLENTY OF MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE. BEST LIFT IS OVER THE SE PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA...TAPERING OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. NEXT UP...TROWAL. THE NAM SHOWS A STRONG TROWAL IN PLACE ACROSS AREA AT 18Z AT 850MB...STRETCHING FROM EASTERN KY TO NEAR VINCENNES AT 18Z...BEFORE SLIDING EAST BY 00Z. IN REGARDS TO THIS...SOME THUNDER HAS ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED...THUS CANNOT RULE OUT SOME THUNDERSNOW. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND TIME HEIGHT SECTIONS SHOW DEEP SATURATION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A SATURATED LAYER BETWEEN -10C AND -20C...IDEAL FOR DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH. FINALLY THE TRACK OF THE 700MB LOW PLACED THE HEAVIEST SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA. THUS WILL AIM FOR HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA...TRENDING TO LESSER AMOUNTS ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR AND LESSER AMOUNTS NORTHWEST. WILL CONTINUE ALL ONGOING WARNINGS. WIND GUSTS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY REACH 35 MPH AT TIMES...BUT AT THIS TIME FREQUENT GUSTS OF 20-30 MPH APPEAR MORE LIKELY. BEST FORCING REALLY DIMINISHES TOWARD 00Z AS THE TROWAL AND LOW DEPART TO THE EAST. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SNOW SHOULD DIMINISH GREATLY...HOWEVER WINDS WILL STILL BE BLOWING NEAR 15-25 MPH RESULTING IN DRIFTS. THE INFLUX OF WARM AIR AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM MAY ALLOW FOR SOME SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN MIXING IN FAR SE INDIANA EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A VERY SHARP CUT OFF ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SNOW BAND AND WHERE SLEET/OR FREEZING RAIN DOES FALL...SNOW TOTALS COULD BE DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY. SPOTTERS IN THE SE CENTRAL INDIANA HAVE BEEN REPORTING A LITTLE MIX THIS MORNING AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW ANY WARMING SHOULD RESULT IN A MIX TYPE PRECIP THERE. THUS WILL INCLUDE A MENTION OF MIX THIS MORNING. POPS NEAR 100 ALL AREAS...FOR REASONS LISTED ABOVE. STEADY STATE TEMPS THIS MORNING WITH WARM AIR AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AND PRECIP FALLING...HOWEVER AS WIND BECOME NORTHWESTERLY THIS AFTERNOON COLD AIR ADVECTION ONCE AGAIN TAKES SHAPES AND TEMPS SHOULD FALL DURING THE AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR HIGHS LATE THIS MORNING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
