iluvsnow Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And while we are on the Fantasy Friday theme....how's this for white (wet) dream? The 06Z GFS 384 hour total snow map. Southern Ohio the nation's snow capitol. I would bet we don't have enough to cover the grass. And before anyone complains about posting WXbell maps it was on Bastardi's twitter account. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYM7sF6UoAEUHva.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The Tuesday clipper could be a little interesting. Not a ton of moisture but forecast soundings show a deep layer of steep lapse rates and high RH along the front and a period of some LES showers behind it. Could see some briefly squally weather.

CoachLB Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm confused lol. GFS just put a 6 inch bulls on me for tommorow and not a mention of from NWS. You think there not buying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think that they aren't talking about it because the GFS seems to be the only one out in right field. Most models show 2" or less inciting all but 4 SREF members for ROD and 3 at KDAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Gonna miss a record at CVG by two days from an inch of snow. LAME.

buckeye Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is the futility record history of CMH? yea, looks like I'm going to be changing my sig line. Definitely measurable is now set in the books.... Looks like the first 1" should be put to bed as well. Actually looks like winter out there, horizontal snow and covered grass.

HighTechEE Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Unofficially measured 2" on the dot on my truck this morning, figured it stuck there first and collected the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 From @NWSILN... Columbus (CMH) has recorded 1.0" of snow thus far today (1st measurable snow of season). New record latest first measurable snow: 1/10/2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bummed we missed a record by two days, but hey it looks nice. Was a tad more than I expected actually! A little concerned the NAM is going a bit bonkers (as usual) with forcing and it's QPF for Tuesday. Although the NAM and GFS bufkit both reveal a brief period around 6AM Tuesday of decent negative omega values (strong lift) overlaid perfectly with a good size DGZ. [Looking at KCVG] The NAM then takes off whereas the GFS does not. But with the agreement at least for a brief period, a 1-2" forecast seems solid. Possibly would hedge towards the lower side of that for now unless we see more model agreement on either the higher moisture content or strong forcing. But keep in mind this is just a cold frontal passage, not a traditional clipper where the low passes by to our south. The low goes through Michigan so the fact that we are even looking at an inch out of this is awesome. Next weekend, there is actually remarkable agreement among the 12z GFS/GEM, 0z Euro operational & parallel for a low through NE KY. This would yield rain changing to another sloppy 1-3" of snow. Then you have the 12z Euro operational with the low way up to Indy Para run isn't out yet on wx bell, so we'll see if it jumps as well. From a teleconnections stand point, a more southerly track is favored. The AO and NAO are solidly negative and the PNA remains positive all well beyond the time period of this storm. Granted a track up to Indy isn't exactly "cutting north" that hard, just a bit too much to help us. Obviously the teleconnections aren't the end all, but I think we have a shot for something next weekend just looking at the overall pattern apart from the model mayhem which will continue for the next several days.

vespasian70 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Our first clipper of the season. ILN might be under doing the amounts south of I-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Our first clipper of the season. ILN might be under doing the amounts south of I-70. I don't know, I'm not really liking this setup for us down here in Cincinnati. Especially now that its in range of short-term high-res models. It's almost just a FROPA. A quick hitting burst of snow which may lay down a fast 1/2" to an inch. Now the RAP is hinting at a second small area of snow down here near Cincy around 8/9am which could get us just over an inch. But the 4km NAM shows very little, the 12km NAM shows very little, the RAP shows an inch AT BEST, and the HRRR thru 7z looks unimpressive. We have the GFS going a bit more high with QPF and the Euro operational with a thin meso-looking band between Cincy and Dayton. However the new Euro parallel does not have nearly as high amounts and has a bit of band looking feature in NKY but only 1 to 1.5". It seems to me like there will be a band or two of slightly higher amounts, but I think I'm going 1" on my call with only very isolated amounts higher. You guys near and north of 70 probably have a better shot at 2". It may be hard to pinpoint where the band of >1" sets up down here. The 18z NAM actually is in agreement with the Euro parallel that it may be NKY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed the hilly areas south of me (Athens, Lancaster, etc.) would do well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a frontal passage. It will be like in the summer with patchy heavy precip, but no area wide better amounts.

vespasian70 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A good 2" on the ground now and still snowing nicely. Perhaps we will make it to 3" or so with the snow squalls this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't measured but looks like more than an inch and looking at radar we should hit 2 no problem. Pretty much should nail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 just measured....actually exactly 2" fresh snow. Means we will probably hit 3+ by later afternoon. some nice returns in central IN...still several hours on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently snowing the hardest of the event so far. So yeah, 3" or so looks good. Another round looks to hit late morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
