PIT issued an advisory for Muskingum County for 2-4"???I fully expect a 6"+ swath down down to my latitude, just not sure how far west or east. Temps start marginal but a very robust warm conveyor belt running into a well-defined deform zone for several hours should flip places to snow and let it pound for a good 6 hours or so.

But won't really start to get a feel for that until we're underway. Wow, I'm up in Ottawa for the day, away from this board and come back to a moderate storm potential.

OHweather Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 HRRR coming in a bit colder yet again! Changes Athens over by 6z.

Perhaps a 2-4" call is more appropriate for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM came west and is handling the surface development of the low along the Gulf coast perfectly. The hi res, ultra short-term models which were ridiculously far west are coming back to reality but still show 4-6" at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know short range models are the way to go right now but still have a bit of an uneasy feeling with this one. Hope you're right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what happens when heavier precip moves in. I could see it going to a mix for a time then back to all rain for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did a pretty thorough analysis of the synoptic setup at 21z and compared it to the 18z NAM/GFS. Both models are doing a pretty good job. GFS is a little weak with the H7 wave and both models are a little weak with the sfc low...but other than that you can't complain.

OntarioChaser Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Significant ice storm likely for Jefferson county NY and the Kingston, Ontario area!!! Wow! NWS with 1/2 - 1" ice accum and 30mph winds....would cause significant damage especially with the heavy wet snow causing additional strain to trees and wires.

Usually if there is a swath of snow from south to north there, it is wider and extends into the mountains more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
