osubrett2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The deform band merely passes through W-E instead of pivoting NE as the trough stays positively titled. But with the colder trends, not sure it's totally needed to get moderate/large accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not seeing an obvious/large area of ice. 850s are the same temp, if not colder, than surface temps for most of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 3k has a little more ice just south of I-70 as 850s are warmer and some patches briefly warm above freezing. Overall snowmap is extremely similar to the 12k, amounts just slightly less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It's that David mazza I was telling buckeye about. He said on video that no where in Ohio would see more than 8" and thatd be in nw ohio and any model that showed more was wrong.

Love his enthusiasm for winter weather. He inspired me to build several backyard ice rinks when my kids were younger. I'm afraid the days of backyard ice rinks in central Ohio are long gone.

Oh gosh I remember him talking about that during his weather segments. I left CMH and lived in DFW for 6 years. I came back and every weather personality switched stations except Mike Davis it seemed like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 GFS is 1 or 2 mb stronger than the NAM, brings in warmer 850s for freezing rain along I-70 and south. Snow totals still look good for I-70 and north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPSU Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 On the 12Z GFS, where it stays all snow, it’s over a foot of snow. Unfortunately that line is from Delaware County on north. Just needs a very small adjustment and we’re golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 things definitely look better than they did 24hrs ago, but damn, I'm still not confident at all on a total snow event for CMH area. Confidence boosted that we'll have a lot more frozen than wet, but per usual we are so damn close to the line it's insane. Looping through these runs, most of them have the 850 line literally lining up along the 40degree lat line which basically cuts through Columbus, for at least a few hours. I don't think freezing rain is a big threat simply because it's hard to get good accretion with 30 degrees and heavy rain. Sleet to some degree or another is definitely in the cards though for probably most of Franklin County. So here's my gut call on this looking back at similar situations and based on years of watching this stuff unfold here. If we can hold this current look or something razor close to it through 00z, then I think odds favor a good surprise vs. a bad one. Typically* on close calls like this, (4th and goal ball on the 1" line), we find away to get it in ugly, whether that may be aided by high precip rates or an underestimated push of cold. Now if models start going nw, (delay of game call), well you know.... *Typically, but I still wear the scars from Feb 13 2007, a very similar set up. cue Hoosier in 3...2...1... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
