JayPSU Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just finished plowing my driveway and sidewalks...amazing what this puppy can do with snowfalls that are actually more than 1-2"! Anyway, we got easily 5-6" of snow here. Looks beautiful. The gusty winds that are supposed to come back have held off for now which made it much easier to plow. Any of you experienced plowers have any advice on what kind of pattern is best to take for your standard two car garage driveway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespasian70 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 And finally, ILN offers some measuring tips for wind driven snow measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 5.5" is what I'll call it here. Absolutely no complaints, this overperformed just about what all models showed from here. About an inch and a half of that was from a couple of snow squalls. Killer squall pushing into Charleston right now with thunder and lightning reported!

vespasian70 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Heavy snow squalls off and on here too. Looks like a band has set up over Deleware into Licking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About an inch and a half of that was from a couple of snow squalls. Killer squall pushing into Charleston right now with thunder and lightning reported! Just for the record while it's still fresh in our minds, remember the euro sucked eggs on this one. Most of us at least doubled what it showed for this first event. GGEM did much better. 12z euro for tomorrow is showing another 2-2.5" across Franklin County, hopefully it does equally poor on that. The ggem showed a bullseye across Ohio of almost 8-10" between the 2 events several days out. Looks like that is not totally out of the question for at least the lower end of that scale. Definitely looks like both events will be on track to give most of us a total of 6-10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ripping snow again here in Newark..Finally looks like winter!! Just measured 6 1/4 inches of snow..Looks like a pretty accurate count..Wind never got to this!! This was definately WSW criteria..but it's ok...over performed which is great!!

wxdudemike Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Had some insane snow squalls driving from Cincy to Columbus this afternoon. Looks like we got our biggest snow yet this winter on campus. I think 1-3 is possible tmrw morning. This cold shot might be worse than the last big one just because of the snow on the ground.

weatherzen Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just back from a trip to Athens for my daughter's birthday. Almost didn't go but am glad we did. It's been a long time since I've seen that kind of blowing snow. Went through a couple of white outs just from blowing snow. Took me back to my growing up days in Zanesville in the 70's. It's just more severe out in open country. Fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going -14 right now. Sent from my XT1060 If we get clear skies and calm winds Tuesday night: I'd go with 12 to 14 below city and and 15 to 19 below in the burbs. Bet we see readings of 20 to 22 below in places like Bellefontaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 as far as snow tomorrow. Models aren't impressed, most are .1 to .15. I think we get a nice 3 hour burst in the morning that drops an inch....then everything calms down, temp rises, and we wait for the arctic front to arrive. Another inch with that. All in all about 7-8 inches total for the 48 hour period which began late last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all about 7-8 inches total for the 48 hour period which began late last night. Yeah I'm assuming .1" but with an early 25:1 ratio going down to 12:1 at the end. Yields just over 2 inches so that's why I think 1-3 should cut it. ILN might be over-forecasting as usual with 2-4. I'm wondering about those calm winds Monday night...might not happen til late in the night. But the reason I'm saying -14 is because IND dropped to -15 on the night of the 6th/7th with similar 850 temps, strong winds, but snow on the ground. We had all of that minus snow.

JayPSU Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Probably not a good sign when you have radar returns over your house and you can see the bright pink of the sun rising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPSU Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 U know what they say, "Red in morning sailors take warning." Yeah, here's hoping! Does look like it was more moist further south. Chicago WX seemed to think LAF was going to get completely bypassed and judging by radar they probably ended up doing decently well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 FYI, I've received 2" and still coming down this morning, with it heading toward Central OH. If things hold together, you could be in for at least 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
