newest sref absolutely dumps on the Peoria area. what I was thinking was going to be a bad situation may be historical if it verifies around here. the main threat with this storm is going to be the weight of the snow which could bring down branches thus producing isolated power outages.

Not even really sweating surface and especially upper level temps in central Indiana in late March. lol, ridiculously awesome.

Man that MI-IN/OH brick wall is fierce. That would really be a lousy deal if it ended up like that.

Suppressed south in late March is a hard thing to imagine this late i the game. A 6"+ snow would be nice, expecially how it seems so many around us have done well late this winter. I feel the pain of Toledo and surrounding areas. A northern tick of 75 miles would make a huge difference.

 

The good news is that the cold will be around for some time yet. I thought this might be the last but mothernature has different plans.

this set up, (a digging bowling ball), has always been a tenuous set up for us Ohioans.    You have dryslot issues with a wound up 500 low, qpf loss when the transfer occurs, and of course if the block weakens too much, then we introduce the wtod.  

 

For this to be something really memorable for central Ohio, it requires more than just threading a needle, it requires threading a clogged needle with a cat hair while riding shotgun in a 4wheeler.   meh, the good thing is it isn't over til it's over....and you adjust expectations accordingly.

But TWC's forecast confuses me, because they have me in the 5-8" area through both Sunday AM and Monday AM; yet everything else I've seen says our heaviest snow should be during the day Sunday and into Sunday evening. huh.gif

 

 

I wouldn't go by their forecast personally, your local NWS forecast would probably be a better bet.

I think ILX making a good call right now with 6-9"  It cracked me though this morning because in their morning update, they decided to keep the watch  because...

 

 

 

BUT NEW MODELS A LITTLE LESS ON STRENGTHEN OF THE LIFT AHEAD OF SYSTEM SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR THAT REASON...FORECAST AMOUNTS LOWER THEN AND SO WILL STAY WITH WATCH.  MAIN SNOW BAND OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS...6 INCH AREA SOUTH OF EL PASO TO FAIRVIEW LINE...AND NORTH OF A ELFFINGHAM TO MARSHALL LINE. MAX 7-8 INCH AREA POSSIBLE CENTERED ON TAYLORVILLE TO CHRISMAN.

 

...but then update their Weather Story and WSW text, saying 6-9"

Tough call in my backyard as look to be on far northern fringe. Favorable diurnal timing should help. I'll up to 2 to 4. 6 to 10 LAF and okk... 4 to 7 in Lima. Let it snow! And then please warm up...

Long range GFS does seem to indicate spring will arrive in April with stormy conditions.  I'll take this 2-4 inches predicted up here in Elkhart as a finale to the winter season and then I am ready for spring as well.

Having trouble finding many negatives in this setup. The transfer would have to happen obnoxiously early to be a severe hindrance around here, which looks very unlikely. One of the only bad things is the daytime onset but the damage from melting/compaction should not get out of hand with heavy rates and temps trickling down as the storm progresses. Possible convective snow is just another reason for optimism. Really starting to like the chances of 8+ for LAF.

Go for a new record!
