Hoosier Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 lol, true. I guess I'm just surprsied that it's been a mainly daytime event and not really "heavy" rate snow. Add in all the salt and stuff that's been dumped on the roads all winter. And can't forget about that sun angle... 1.9" per Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0039 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0236 PM CST THU JAN 20 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY REGION CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 202036Z - 202330Z BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY REGION THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...WITH RATES UP TO 1 INCH PER HOUR EXPECTED. LATEST OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A BAND OF MODERATE SNOW IS DEVELOPING ALONG THE INTERSTATE 71 CORRIDOR FROM CNTRL OHIO INTO NWRN KY....WITH AREAS OF LIGHTER SNOW ACROSS S-CNTRL OHIO. THIS ACTIVITY IS BEING DRIVEN BY DEEP-LAYER ASCENT AHEAD OF A TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY REGION. SNOWFALL RATES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AS THE STRONG ASCENT PROGRESSES EASTWARD WHILE BEING AUGMENTED BY INCREASING 700-MB FRONTOGENESIS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON INDICATE THAT THE ASCENT WILL COINCIDE WITH RELATIVELY DEEP AND SATURATED DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONES TO PROMOTE EFFICIENT SNOW GROWTH. ADDITIONALLY...MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF WEAK SLANTWISE INSTABILITY BY 00Z ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN OHIO...WHICH WILL FURTHER SUPPORT MESOSCALE BANDING AS THE ACTIVITY SHIFTS EASTWARD. AS SUCH...BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ARE FORECAST TO AFFECT THE DISCUSSION AREA THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...WITH RATES UP TO ONE INCH PER HOUR EXPECTED.

Madmaxweather Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is it me or is the radar not picking up on the intensity of the snow? Is there a mode you can use on Gr3 to do better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Got about 4 inches with steady moderate snow continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherPimp Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Right at 5.5 inches here in Southern Darke County. Has to be close to 20:1 ratios.Took 3 measurements and all came out to between 5 and 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Storm total just north of 2" here. Not sure what the actual ratio is since it looks like LAF is too low on precip again (0.06" which would work out to ratios better than 30:1...doubtful). Let's see what my buddy on the other side of town comes up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ended up with around 2-3" here. The highlight was the 'whiteout' like conditions that occurred with the heavy tiny flakes about 5 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just went out and cleaned my car off and did some more measurements and had 4.5 in a couple spots and 5 in others so basically at about 4.75 right now. Still snowing steadily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Storm total just north of 2" here. Not sure what the actual ratio is since it looks like LAF is too low on precip again (0.06" which would work out to ratios better than 30:1...doubtful). Let's see what my buddy on the other side of town comes up with. 2.2", which puts us north of 30" for the season. 40" or bust. I see there could be gusts to 30MPH tonight/overnight...wouldn't want to be out in the rural areas tonight with this powder blowing around.
