jbcmh81 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. If they measured this morning only, it probably compacted quite a bit. I'm sure most weren't out measuring every hour. Port Columbus does not have a history of over measuring snowfall. If anything, it's usually under, so when they're high, I usually take it as truth.

buckeye 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. was out today driving and there was crazy local variation....ironically northeast and east areas from Westerville, New Albany all looked really heavy. I haven't seen snow piles like this around town here since '09-'10. I went down by the fairgrounds just north of downtown Columbus and it looked like they had half of what we got. Then swinging around the east side of the outter belt (airport area) looked like as much if not more than Westerville. Just weird, I think it had to do with the incredible rates and if you were in a pocket that was all snow for a time... it would have been very easy to get 2 or 3 more inches than someone 2 miles either side of you that might have been mixing with sleet. Those rates were insane last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcmh81 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 To give an idea of how snowy it has been this season, we are just 2.1" behind the #2 all-time snowiest winter at this date, and a full 10" above our #1 snowiest winter on record.

buckeye Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 FWIW, latest euro looks better for the storm this weekend and another one next week. Plenty of time to fine tune these! the none next week is interesting....if we can get a stronger low, more digging trough it's really close to an app runner. Pondo...ggem has 'something' there too, but the timing is earlier. Models seem to be varying on which energy to key in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rates were insane last night. How did all of the neighborhood streets look? Ours got plowed, but a buddy if mine said that places like Strawberry Farms that are served by Columbus still haven't been touched. I'm trying to plan whether Westerville will be on a delay or closed tomorrow. Hard to believe they still haven't plowed some of these areas.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Here is the list of the top 10 snowiest seasons through February 5th in Buffalo: 1st in 1977, 172.9 inches2nd in 1978, 128.7 inches3rd in 2001, 117.8 inches4th in 1996, 103.7 inches5th in 2002, 101 inches6th in 1945, 92.9 inches7th in 1986, 91.7 inches8th in 1918, 91 inches9th in 2009, 89.8 inches10th in 1970, 88.4 inches Current Snowfall for 2013-2014 stands at 89.2 which puts us into the top 10! This is extremely high for KBUF, because they only got hit with a few LES events. They have predominantly been across southern Erie county this year.

vespasian70 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The back streets are still a mess around here. Even some of the main ones too. Getting 6" of concrete with a layer of slop on top really made for the worse driving conditions so far this winter. The snow piles won't be melting away anytime soon.

fogbreath Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I wandered back from downtown yesterday to home using COTA (buses were free the whole day). Granted, I haven't been here as long as many of you, but I don't think I've every seen High St that deserted, at least during the day. It definitely was as snow covered as I'd ever seen it from Downtown to just past Henderson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're almost in LE territory. all I can think is cmh obviously counts any snow that falls whether it accumulates or not. We've have several 1" snows that melted soon after. So I honestly can't figure out where cmh is getting 45". There are several cmh members here. So that's who to ask. Do you realistically think you've seen 45" of snow? I'd honestly say, being realistic that 30" would be fair with the past 2 storms. And I'm not even close to the snowbelt. We get no lake effect here unless winds are dead on and even then only sometimes an inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus' total is right up there with nearby cities like Dayton and Cincinnati, so I'm not sure why it's being singled out. And yes, I would say it's pretty accurate. 15.6" seems laughable this year, but who knows. Maybe it's just been in a really, really bad location this year.

sojitodd Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Actually the airport is usually on the low end of measurements. There were other areas nearby that reported 9 inches or so-the most of anywhere else in Central Ohio, so I guess they just lucked out with the most. It is more often the other way around, thinking clear back to the seventies. I can't even count how many times reports have come in, and then CMH comes out, and I have been "WHAT! how could they be that low-the lowest of anywhere in the whole region!". I can say that yeah, with all the 'nuisance' snows and with the innumerable times I have had to clean the snow off my car, I think 45 inches is very much in line with what I have gotten.

We get no lake effect here unless winds are dead on and even then only sometimes an inch or two. Let's put it this way....up until this past event, I've only had one accumulating snow in mby that I felt was different than what CMH was reporting...the clipper/squall weekend a couple weeks back, I actually thought I got more than CMH. As far as this past event, it was hard to measure and it was incredibly localized, so although I don't think my backyard got 10", (closer to 7 or 8), I certainly can see a place 10 miles away in any direction getting that. My neighborhood is a mess of piled snow everywhere and like I said before, I haven't seen it this snowy and wintry, wrt snow on the ground since '09-'10. So yea, 45" is 45" ...

buckeye Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 12z euro update: 1.7" from sunday 'thing' then 6-10" for next Wednesday-Friday southern system(s) that try to cut to the OV and transfers.

vespasian70 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The NAM is certainly looking more robust for the weekend clipper. GFS still kind dry. I guess the next big show will be mid week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdudemike Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Could be looking at nearly advisory level snow for tomorrow. NAM and GFS are spitting out 2" easily. Wouldn't be shocked if some places got to that 3" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespasian70 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Light snow tonight and tomorrow and another shot of Arctic air early next week. And the GFS giving us a decent hit later in the week.
