buckeye Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Oh well, this is a first for me starting this thread. Not sure where Steve is but I can't blame him or anyone else in the OV if they've finally thrown in the towel. So, let's see if we can log a couple a pages this winter! , and maybe a few pics of car toppers and heavy frost! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 You're aiming high there, aren't you? 24'-25'? Last year, I didn't even get 2'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 24 foot of snow at lets call it 8 to 1, and then say half of that evaporates, is still 15 to 18 inches of precipitation for the ground. Think that will erase the D5 in the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 Eh sh*t…. Messed that up. Oh well this thread will probably sink to the second page of the forum pretty quickly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I'm actually expecting a couple big storms this year. I know the winter is supposed to be warmer, but feel like we're due to get a good setup a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Nothing too exciting on the horizon, but most of Ohio should see at least a few flakes in the air Thursday into early Friday and a few spots may see a light/slushy accumulation. Just enough to remind us that we're deep into November already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Any of you Buckeyes have more info on the 1864 bliz? Been curious about it for yrs tbh. Ohioans who lived through the "Great Blizzard of '78" will never forget it. It is engrained as part of each person's "Ohio Experience", a legend to be told to their children and grandchildren. This storm was compared to the Blizzard of January 1918 and the New Year's Blizzard of 1864 for ferocity and disruption to everyday lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in second grade so it's blurry ... seriously though, never even heard of a blizzard of 1864 or 1918. I'm gonna have to look those up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many "official" weather observations are that old. Here is Lansing, Michigan from 12/31/1863 - 1/2/1864. 3 inches of snow, and brutal cold. Here is Toronto, Ontario from 12/31/1863 to 1/3/1864. 1.7 inches of snow, with a sharp cold snap. Doesn't seem that bad, unless it was worse in Ohio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have had staying power after 1918 and 1978 if it wasn't in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not a large snowstorm by any means, but a rapid temp drop, rain turned to snow and temps got deadly cold. The artic blast was very severe in an otherwise tame winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm was compared to the Blizzard of January 1918 and the New Year's Blizzard of 1864 for ferocity and disruption to everyday lives. I believe the 1864 storm is covered in "Thunder in the Heartland," by Thomas Schmidlin, weather historian. When I read that book, I didn't make any specific notes, as it was almost impossible to find a weather observation that I could have included on my web site. If you look at the Daily Weather Map archive from the government (back then it was the US Weather Bureau) you can only see back to 1871 (amazingly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully can get something posted later this weekend or next week. We'll have some chances around here, but I don't expect a wall-to-wall great winter. Probably will be a couple decent cold windows with snow chances with a couple of prolonged mild spells as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTechEE Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I'm not sure but looked like just under an inch IMBY on grass & elevated surfacess, but melted quickly after 9am. Might get over 1" in the 2nd wave tonight in SW Ohio. PS - I saw north of Milwaulkee is just under 7" right now and should top that with a little more, but I doubt that much makes it into the Indiana/Ohio areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News reports/urban legends written in diaries, etc would be the info source vs actual wx site data at that distant time period. It's amazing how extreme some of those cold waves were back in the "pioneer" era of the Midwest. 1864 was lumped in with the two bliz events based on impacts to life. I just presumed it to be via snow/wind but not always obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowbar Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 I'll continue to bump to the top, in the extremely faint hope that we get a major storm in the OV around Christmas Eve so I can get out of visiting the annoying part of my wife's family. Know that it won't happen, but will continue to hope beyond hope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 for the Central Ohio locals....especially the ones like myself who have been around a long time, sorry to see Bob Nunnally passed away. Back in the day he use to do the weekend weather on local NBC. I remember watching the Saturday evening before the March '93 superstorm, he was the first to mention we could see a blizzard out of this even though everyone else was keeping it much further east. Sure enough I woke up the next morning to blizzard warnings. Granted, we only got about 4" of wind swept powder here, but didn't have to go too far east to really get buried. I met him once too, he was a super friendly, good heart. RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
