buckeye Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Hope I'm not jinxing it but I figured i'd unlock the door here, turn the lights on, and open the ohio discussion on this one. Possibly our first major snowstorm in.....?????? This is all the 12z runs from today. The consistency is crazy but I'm still trying to figure out how we get screwed out of this one, (If it's possible we'll find a way). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowbar Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Still have nightmares about Jan 2019, when we were supposed to get around a foot on Saturday, and instead got a few inches (granted overnight was lots of blowing/drifting with bad roads) preceded by rain due to WAA.

buckeye Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 1.5" tonight? Would be cool to cover the grass and then get our snow sunday. It's really a stretch to say but technically that would be snow on snow and that is definitely something we haven't had in years....outside of multiple dustings to an inch kind of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Monster potential for Central Ohio. GFS has come significantly north. Hopefully it doesn't go any further north or we'll be sweating WTOD. It's in perfect position currently for those of us who are snow starved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 More concerned with a south trend …Euro looking scary, it is really heading that way and some of the other models are starting to trend that way too. Really surprised because these kind of systems almost always trend stronger further north. 12z runs will be telling whether it’s a flip or a flop.

dilly84 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Little surprised this morning, got about 2" on the ground and it's still snowing. Fully expected a dusting lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I'm thinking most likely scenario is minimal warning event for Franklin county south.... Probably advisory for Delaware and a couple of tiers north. When ALL the models are showing you dead-center in the heaviest snow 4 days out...and we get shut out or DAB, you have to wonder what the hell are we even doing here. early call for mby, 3-5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Maybe we'll get lucky. Recall Dec 2013, when we were supposed to get 10-12" on Thursday night-Friday and ended up with only about 3" as the storm moved about 60-70 miles to the south (areas like Chillicothe got a foot that we were supposed to get) - maybe this time the weather gods will push this thing north to give us something worthwhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows. My memory is probably failing me, but the last most infamous sudden shift north inside of 48hrs was the presidents day weekend storm in 2003. I suppose the models have improved in the last 22 years though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 NAM didn't suck but it did slightly go south. Basically 2 parts to this storm. First is the WAA followed by the passing of the ULL. Best snow usually comes from the waa, at least around here, but sometimes those ULL can surprise too. You want to be just to the north of that low when it passes, right now NAM has it scooting from about Lexington to Charleson WV, (something to watch for). Either way it's starting to look like the jackpot is pretty narrow, only a few counties wide so details are everything....gonna be some heartbreak with this one. Wish it was more widespread share the wealth kind of storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish it was more widespread share the wealth kind of storm. Expand I'm no longer optimistic for Central Ohio. I'm gonna say we see further south shifts until 1-2" line splits CMH. Won't be shocked if come Sunday you'll need to live in the bottom 1/4 of the state to see more than a couple inches. Somehow, someway, us in central Ohio always get the screw job. Fully expect nothing less here. Go from a trend north last night, to "ope, fooled ya." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a trend starts it continues until it beats us into oblivion lol. I'm seriously about done with this hobby after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
