fogbreath Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice coating of ice for the OSU students on the sidewalks. Saw lots of ice coated cars on my way to catch the bus as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondo1000 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Oh, and btw... we pulled ahead of Philly. 42" to 40.6". LMAO! I love it! Thanks JB! Let's keep tracking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondo1000 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yea, I'm glad we got a decent snowpack again. Ended up with 6.5", much better than I ever thought 12hrs ago. lol So what model as a whole did best with this? I think the Euro based on its consistency. It never really made the wild swings some of the others were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never really made the wild swings some of the others were doing. I was thinking that too. The euro never really wavered as far as giving us a decent thumping of snow. It was giving us here in Newark 7"-8" up until game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcmh81 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wow, 10.7" was that last thing I thought we'd see. Closer to 8" imby. That would take the seasonal total to 45.8", and this season would now be the 8th snowiest winter of all time, moving up 22 spots since February 3rd. This would also be the 3rd largest February event ever. Looks like some snow showers may wrap around later on today, but I wouldn't expect too much with that. On to the weekend!

buckeye Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 just got done shoveling my wife's car out of the middle of the road where she tried to drive thru the plowed pile at the end of the driveway. ....tell me again why we congratulate each other over this stuff???

Dude, after shoveling that cement from my drive I was too exhausted to finish the job at the bottom of the drive. So I left it b/c the plow hadn't come down our street yet. I had to gun it to get out of the bottom of the drive and the end of my street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pathology We need 4.8" to get into the top 5 snowiest winters. That's not too much more to ask for, is it? We need 22.8" to be #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your road isn't plowed and you don't have 4 wheel, you aren't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Very attainable considering the measurements CMH makes. it does seem high, but you gotta remember this stuff compacted pretty hard....it really was cement. If they're taking measurements every hour, I could see those totals even though at the end of the storm most of us ended with 6-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I am shocked that CMH had 10.7. Is this another one of those storms like in March 08 when CMH is the 'bullseye' for Central Ohio? Maybe 7-8 inches here I think. Six on my car..which I have yet to clean off...ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPSU Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 You guys aren't kidding, this stuff is pure cement. My snowblower definitely bogged down some with the stuff between the driveway and the road where they plowed. This was real man work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldlogin Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Looks like the upper level Low is going to produce. Getting stronger returns just to the Northwest of Cincy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Interestingly, looking at the radar loop it almost looks like there may have been some enhancement from gravity waves at the onset of the snow in central Ohio, caused by the warm tongue overrunning the low level cold air. If I get a chance later today, i'll post a gif radar loop. Certainly would explain some of the insane rates we were receiving in the first few hours. Any more seasoned mets care to comment on this?

OSUdoc Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I saw the gravity waves on the radar as well throughout the event especially at the onset. I don't have enough knowledge though to know what to think or make of them as far as their cause or effect on snow totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 12z euro gives central OH about 2" Sunday.... then an inverted trough up the apps gives us another 2 or 3" on day 6-7 but hits southern OH pretty good with 6-8".... Worth watching that one for a stronger, deeper trend north. Other models hint at it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespasian70 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 My friend only had 4.5-5 in total, granted, he is in the southern portion of the area, but really. Ohio State didn't get that much either. You should take on the job of posting the least amounts reported for every storm. The glass is always half empty.
