Roger Smith Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Surface low appears to be around KY-WV-VA border or nw of Bristol, TN/VA moving northeast towards central PA. Synoptic snow band will likely be heaviest across se OH, nw half of WV, w/c PA into upstate NY, BUF could see 3-5" but 6-10" band will likely run from east of Jamestown or Olean NY to Syracuse, ROC will get enhancement from northerly flow off L Ont, so generally 12" possible ROC to SYR. Most of the secondary frontal band will collapse once this low begins to capture the energy, and the comma head feature will get pulled into the synoptic band but it may ride along the top of that band into central OH and towards Erie and then Buffalo, before being totally absorbed.

Jim Martin Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 What a start to the Area Forecast Discussion this afternoon from the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana: .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 339 PM EST Fri Jan 12 2018 ...Cold with Lake Effect Snow... I don't know how AFD readers feel, but I am definitely happy to NOT be writing much about today's wintry Mix. I believe this storm was a great lesson for everyone about hyping "big winter storms" too far in advance, with most areas ending up below 2" of snow accumulation (a few isolated 2.5 in reports as of 20z) and minor ice accumulation. Will let the advisory expire this evening once snow clears the area. The evening shift may be able to drop the remaining western counties (including Allen, IN) early. A few rivers have gone into minor flood stage this afternoon due to the snowmelt and rainfall we received, so monitor our AHPS page for any river flood warnings or statements.

Street Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Checking in from just west of Indianapolis airport. We got .10" of ice, followed by 1/2" of sleet, and now 3.5" of snow to top it off. Every school and some government centers are cancelled. It's certainly over performing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 What a garbage storm. By far the worst of the winter. Definitely p*ssed. We got 0.6" of snow atop a sheet and I mean a sheet of ice. I scraped what I could off the driveway and threw some salt down but theres only so much you can do. I imagine slips and falls on walkways will be plentiful. Looks like winter again but considering we had 6+ inches of snow on the ground most of the time since mid-Dec, I am not happy one bit. Wouldnt be so mad if it wasnt for losing a healthy snowpack due to 2 useless days of tropical dewpoints. This area is one of the last that should complain this winter, so I will leave it at that and give the complaint thread its first (and only) free pass of the winter. Clipper Monday looks good for a solid few inches of powder. We do clippers well here, so lets see. I have to work (took today off because of icy roads - what a waste of a day) but luckily traffic will be lighter than normal since its MLK day.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was walking to work this morning when the front passed. It was pretty cool. The winds rapidly picked up, the fog that was in placed rolled out to the east with the front (there was this valley to my west that was mired in fog and almost instantly became visible) and you could feel the nip against your skin as the temps tumbled 4-5 degrees. One of the stronger fropa's I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is a weaker surface reflection of the 700 mb low http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=17# (my link goes back to the surface panel, I intended to copy the 700 mb map, you can navigate to that and other upper air maps at the top using Upper Air. ... as you probably knew anyway :)) It's going to look disorganized until it gets partially across the Apps, will look a lot more developed in PA tonight.

Roger Smith Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just updated our snowfall contest and PAH reported 2.2" so far, that moves them past half the stations in terms of percentage of annual snowfall in their first day of measurable snow this winter. Where is Apple Valley OH in relation to larger places? I am guessing south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbuster Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not too much here in Stow, Ohio yet. Everybody is hunkered down. Myself and most of my family members were called off work or sent home early. All schools closed, libraries closed, ect. The weather was looking very icy and you could hear ice hitting the windows around the 3-5pm hour. Not too much right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
