dilly84 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think part of it is seeing every storm miss in every direction for the past 2 winters. It's just becoming a waste of time even tracking storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting light snow early Sunday, maybe another inch of heavy snow Sunday night and then the rain. If it's at least going to rain, make it warm enough for 50. Hard pass on 38 and heavy rain. Well, we got that inch overnight, but it was followed by 5 minutes of sleet before the switch to rain about 2 hours ago. So much for that heavy 1" of snow.

Climatology is one thing, but we've had 2 consecutive winters in a row where big dogs were whiffing us not just to the north as you would expect, but to the south as well. Those are the toughest ones to swallow. The Indy to CMH corridor is due. Ma nature always has a way of scaling things out, so hopefully an I-70 blockbuster is in our future....eventually?

By the way, the 00z GFS has us at 62 degrees on Christmas day Yep, I agree with this sentiment. '15-'16 had no storms, '14-'15 was a Clipper parade, last legitimate storm IMO was 2/4/14 (or 2/5/14) as I received 6-7" IMBY before a slight switchover to sleet before ending. Everything in between, and maybe even dating back to 12/26/12, has been a miss to the north or south. Our climatology is not favorable like Chicago, Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. but it's hard to swallow even moreso with the big hits Kentucky has taken the last few years.

buckeye Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 and all of a sudden out of nowhere tomorrow may bring a couple of inches to central OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hopefully it's not 60° on Christmas. Would be nice to have some snow on the ground. Eh wishful thinking. Keeping an eye on the system for this coming weekend. Looks like another miss to the north as we currently stand. Something to keep an eye on at any rate.

These are the kind I like, the ones that trend better vs. worse as we get closer. Overall, this area sux for snow lovers. I'd take living and dying by the sword where I grew up on the east coast vs. this BS. At least on the coast, you have a legitimate chance at a blizzard. Not here in central Ohio. The one here March of '08 was ok, but the Blizzard of '96 eats that one for a snack all day long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Bucks County outside Philly in the mid 70's and I have ZERO childhood snowfall memories during the 3 winters we lived there. Than we moved to Ohio in fall of '77.

Yup, back, for now.....LOL You didn't live there in Bucks County long enough because I grew up there and the '83 Blizzard was something special too! Let's hope we have something special to talk about this year in this snow hole called central Ohio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespasian70 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I will say this, this December is sure better than last year. At least there are possibilities ... And if it's going to be warm on xmas, why not 60? Beats 39 and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTechEE Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ok I'm going to put this out there, I've noticed that this December so far and if you compare what's being modeled over the next couple of weeks is eerily similar to Dec. '77 for Ohio (as far as analogs go for big rollercoaster rides all month)... If the first 8 days of Jan. are full of flooding rains, then watch out about the 9th, the hammer may drop for the rest of the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting week ahead if nothing else. What are your thoughts about the weekend storm? I'm wondering if the backside may yield more winter precip than the front side, (some models kind of bullish on that and trending moreso). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvsnow Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Also in Bellbrook and enjoying the first system snow of the season. Great that a day or two ago...nothing was forecast. Goes to show not to take everything the models say ten days...let alone two days down the road. Mother Nature is her own boss sometime. Sure glad the Arctic express will have some white on the ground for its visit later this week. Nothing more depressing to me than an Arctic outbreak on brown grass. At a little after nine on Tuesday morning...the snow is nearly snow globe style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDoppler4TnySandz Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Had a nice burst of snow at the onset down here in NE Cincy...has started switching to the mix but not before a quick covering on the grass. Anything in Dec is bonus when it comes to winter precip types for OV. Look forward to this weekend with nothing to lose this early... hopefully that attitude will bring a dumping to somewhere close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaf316 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 hey guys -- just moved to columbus from nyc this past year. more of a lurker than a poster, but just wanted to say hi. light snow falling in here in bexley. radar shows a heavier band to the south -- is that heavier snow or a mix? looking forward to a snowy winter here in central ohio... (last winter in nyc we had our biggest snowstorm ever -- 27.5 inches -- i'm hoping to bring some of that luck here to columbus...) j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvsnow Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Welcome to the area Jaf316! Most of us would gladly die and go to heaven if we got a 27 incher here. We will take all the luck you can bring us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondo1000 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Snowing pretty good here. Real close to 2 inches. Better than Saturday night. Too bad we can't LOCK in some cold-we could easily have a white Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayton1996 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 ILN just updated Dayton to receive 2-4 inches. Looks real nice out. Christmas lights will be cool tonight. From Dayton's version of the Griswalds :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 haven't taken a measurement but I'll just say we have over 2" imby....grass tips covered. Looking at radar I would imagine there has to be some isolated 4" amounts around, especially right along or slightly south of I-70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might end up near 3" according to the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
