"North and west of I-70" should be permanently tattooed across the chests of Columbus' tv mets.  That's all they ever say in snow events.  This one looks great for all of the 70 corridor, not just north and west.  In fact, Columbus could end up in the bullseye zone, at least at this point in the game.

Forgive them for their sins, for they have been burned before. :P

 

Seriously, I think you're right about this being a good event for everyone near I-70. The next few days will be nerve wrecking though!

Lol, exactly. Ganahls the worst with that. He always pulls out a graphic with a thick line from Dayton to Cleveland and says this is where the heaviest snow will fall. It's just intellectually lazy. Although I like your tattoo idea, he could just rip his shirt off and let gelber go at him with a laser pointer.

Yeah..the north and south of I-70 is getting old..Bradley mentioned 10 inches with some spots maybe seeing more!! Our last stand for the winter?

That tired I-70 axiom holds sway in Dayton as well. Every Dayton TV met uses the magic I-70 line as the demarcation between, rain or snow...heavy snow or mixed...locusts or grasshoppers. Makes us wonder what would have happened if in the 60's the National Transportation Administration engineers built the Interstate south of Dayton instead of north. Would really have messed with the jet stream as she tries to decide who to give what in precipitation types in the winter.

Funny us OH folks have to post in this forum in order to avoid being blasted by those who are going to miss out on this storm...

 

I have wishful thinking in hoping for numbers like 14-18''. Local mets must be riding a NAM solution or something saying we are trending towards ice, but I'm not seeing what they are...

Who's blasting you?  Anyone from across the region is free to post in the storm threads.

No matter what happens this is going to be one hell of a disruptive storm here in Columbus, it happens to be one of the busiest event weekends of the year, Home and Garden show overlaps the Arnold Classic which as you know is the largest fitness and sports expo in the world. Packed hotels and airport. Going to be an interesting weekend,

To be fair, it was only two posters, one of which is pretty much agreed upon to be a joke/troll on our forum. :)

 

 

Yeah Angry dude has some anger issues where the models are concerned. You should read some of his gems in the long range thread. :popcorn:

 

Enjoy the foot of snow guys.

So we have the 6Z NAM joining with the Canadian, and we have the 6Z GFS taking a jump north so we have no more room for further jumps north. Who is concerned?

 

this is the euro ensem for hr72 00z.... hardly a threatening wtod look.     Model runs are going to wobble but once you get inside 72 I'd trust the euro, which isn't going to change to drastically.   Only question for cmh is how much sleet mixes in.

The diff between the 72 hr 6z nam and gfs is lol.   NAM has us high and dry and cold and the GFS has a snowstorm with potential mixing issues.

 

On another note.   Why can't news people get the wording right?   There's no such thing as a winter storm advisory OR a winter weather watch.

It's nice to have the Euro on board the last two runs, though it too is now dangerously close to giving us a mix. Not sure what's going on with the NAM and Canadian. FWIW, ILN is going with 10-14" from I-70 on north.

well you know how it goes, if you want to gamble with the BIG DOG amounts you're going to have to put up with models throwing sleet at you leading all the way up to it.

so the nam took a step towards the gfs.   Looks like we start out briefly as rain, transition to ice and then to snow.  I would not be surprised to see the nam start juicing up the last 'snow' phase of this system.

 

god what a cluster this is going to be....I just hope that's sleet soundings and not freezing rain before the snow.   But if we're transitioning from rain, it very well could be freezing rain as low level cold air bleeds in first

DT makes the point I was making.  This is NOT a WTOD situation.  Any warm air we are dealing with is whatever is already in place and has not been scoured out yet when the precip comes in.   It's not like you'll be seeing the 'pink or green' advancing north on the radar.   

 

There may also be significant icing over southeastern portions of OH  and into a good portion of West Virginia.  That  is a little unusual because typically the warm air surges up into West Virginia so usually  they don't see a lot of icing events in the northern half of that state. But in this case because of the way the cold front is advancing  as the Low tracks  through eastern TN  and into VAa...  it  looks like the cold air at the lower levels will get into and stay reinforced over the northern half of WVA   which sets the stage for ice storm.
