Hoosier Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Will's post in another thread inspired me. I'll keep it winter related since it's that time of year. There's a lot to choose from so here are just a few. March 9, 1998. Surprise storm... got way more than expected and had some thundersnow December 11, 2000 December 24, 2002. This one snuck up and came much farther north than expected. Not a huge storm but the date made it more special. January 22, 2005. This was a synoptic event that transitioned into an intense LES event. Parts of Lake county IN picked up 2 feet in a hurry. February 1, 2011. As most longtime posters should know by now, this was a disappointment for me in terms of snow. Epic wind-blown sleet though of a magnitude that I'm not sure I will see again What about yours?

BuffaloWeather Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Pretty cool topic, easy choice for me. Not a picture, but a loop from Nov 2014. It's mesmerizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just posted about this one a week or so ago. The Nov 30/Dec 1 2006 snowstorm that had an extreme northwestern edge cutoff just northwest of the QC. Picked up 10" if wet/dense snow here. A very satisfying storm for this area. Severe band of thundersnow from Feb 11 2003. Radar doesn't do it justice. This band of snow squalls had winds that gusted over 60mph, thunder, and whiteout conditions. Probably the heaviest instantaneous snowfall I've seen in my lifetime. GHDI blizzard from Feb 2011. Hoosier mentioned this one as well, but I love the perspective from the morning of, when the storm was organizing down south. This one was pretty much a no doubter at this point, and the only details left to be hashed out were whether we were gonna receive 14", or 19". Seeing that huge comma head loaded with heavy precip wrap northward towards our entrenched arctic air mass was a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 March 7-8, 2008. Hard to pick just one image, so I picked the initial radar image of when flakes were flying in Columbus. ~30 hours of snowfall piling up to 20.5" which is an all-time record for CMH. The model tracking in the days leading up to the storm were stressful I recall. Initially, it looked to hit the interior Appalachians, then shifted quite a bit west to miss Central Ohio. 24 hours prior, models narrowed in on a track up the spine of the Apps (obviously the best track for CMH), but then most were hesitant to believe the totals being modeled. 6-10" was the initial call and then adjusted to 10-15" as the storm began.
