7" here on the northside of Newark. Kinda surprised at how quickly it fell.

So we get some cold… but no storms on the 10 day forecast… Lol… then at the end of 10 days…40’s!

End of the week something may be cooking ...

Gonna join the local Big Foot spotters club.

That's more likely to pan out than a snowstorm in central Ohio.

So we couldn't buy a sub 980 low tracking through our sub the last several winters.....now the 18z gfs has TWO sub 980 lows not only tracking through the region but taking an almost identical track 72 hrs apart.    ok

I guess anything is possible and the most believable part of it is that CMH is on the warm side of both.     Actually I still think the weekend storm isn't set in stone yet....   but I've been wrong before.

If this bombs out like the 00Z GFS showed it will certainly be way west of Central OH. We need a weak sauce solution for good snows here with this one ... unless the "bomb" produces a mighty backend snow.

Surprisingly picked up @ 2". I wasn't expecting that!

I'm only a couple miles from the airport, and I didn't do a real measurement, but eyeballing it, it looks like 2.5 or 3 inches to me. 

Things look to be quickly winding down. A nice little event.

On to wednesday! 

Yea, picked up @ 3" or 4" here as well. As soon as ILN issued the WSW it fell off the table.

Never heard of this wxsphere until now.  Looks like the place is hopping though.

Yup...and with a lot of lakes and OH Valley folks too. It reminds me of what this place used to be like. Lol

I'm still here. Heavy snow here currently. In the line of the heaviest stuff for at least 2 or 3hrs. See where we end up.

ILN now saying 4"-6" with Franklin and Licking Counties under a WSW.

Wow....what an over-performer!

In case anyone missed this ... NWS in Lincoln went on twitter to explain how they use models and why they do what they do.

Well, hello beautiful.

Another weather forum.

Where the hell is everyone? NWS forecast for Dayton area is 1-3 and we at 9:45 have 5 inches and more to come. Still in the game for midweek. Wake-up....unless everyone has hybernated.

Buckeye's on his cruise ... most of the rest have jumped ship to wxsphere. Nice to see it's pouring over there ... starting to add up here too!

Too bad there isn't much of an OH crew here anymore  ... GFS looks money.

so one of the trends I've seen in the last couple of model runs is for the trough to be less sharp, more broad.    This is good and bad for us.   Good because the cold comes in faster but weaker system.   Hope it's just a glitch otherwise this is a strong arctic frontal passage for all of us.

Just so we don't lose power!

What's swc?

Detroit screw hole on the latest gfs run. The magnetic must be broken.

Nice wrap around snows for many....sceptical if that pans out.

If it's wound up it'll be a cutter....if it's weak sauce we'll see flurries. Can't win here. Lol

At any rate, I'm ready for Spring!

It was really bad for newark, which is right below me. I got lucky. For many, what was supposed to be a good snow, wasn't. I, however, cant complain. I probably got 8 or 9" from it

It's not too bad. We got about 3 or 4 inches of sleet with a couple of inches of snow on top. Probably will stick around longer than snow.

And if we get a robust clipper or two over the next week or so then we have at shot at matching this storm's totals for us. lol

Big flakes finally starting to mix in ... and Steve is probably asleep! lol

Finally seems to be going back to snow here. Hopefully for good this time... 

Good news for me! lol

Well, I suppose this better than ZR. LOL

I'm rooting for you guys. Still think you have a shot of getting at least a couple inches on top of the sleet so it will look better than it really was at least.

Well, I can't recall ever having 3" of sleet....maybe with some snow on top it won't be too bad. Lol

I hope at least the Franklin County crew can pull something out of it.

A buddy of mine in Utica says it's snowing there too. My God that's like 10 miles away! Lol

Still sleet here.
