OHweather Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Probably against my better judgement...but with the models showing at least 3 storm threats over the next 10 days, figured I would create a thread to put any further discussion on a potential light snow event mainly near the Ohio River on Wednesday in. 0z NAM, GFS, Ukie and Canadian came north and suggest some snow north of the Ohio River. 0z NAM and several overzealous SREF members hint at accumulating snow well into central IN/OH on Wednesday, and it looks like a couple of GFS ensemble members may as well although I haven't seen the 0z individual members yet. 0z Euro appeared to give anyone north of the Ohio River the finger again...which is a bad sign since I'd consider the Euro to be the best in handling these little southern stream impulses. However, with some SE ridging ahead of this little wave and minimal NAO blocking there is some room for the impulse to trend north somewhat over the next day or so. The NAM hints at a phase and would bring snow way north as I mentioned above but it's the NAM near the end of its run and for now it's on an island with that solution...would want to see a sharper ridge off the west coast for a phase over the Ohio Valley.

chuckster2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Temps could be an issue as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 NAM finally wakes up. Good run for Kentucky/southern Ohio though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 NAM finally wakes up. Good run for Kentucky/southern Ohio though. Was bound to happen eventually. Euro ticked north though 12z so looking at a solid 1-3" down here...need it to cover up the daffodils that are starting to pop above the ground.

Hoosier Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Looks like some 2-3" amounts have fallen in southern IN/OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's snowing here at 37...dew point at 25...if we can cool a few degrees radar looks golden through the rest of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 ILN radar has some nice banding showing up. Low 30s and moderate snow reported at some locations. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=iln&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 It is pouring quarters in Athens with visibility down to around half a mile...unfortunately it isn't sticking well at all, probably since we snuck up to 37 before it started snowing...it's too bad probably have had a solid quarter inch of liquid fall.

hoosierwx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Great system for us as it provided a rare daytime event. 3-4 inches from 8:00 am to around noon. Almost all gone already as the sun is out and temps are in the low 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
