    Which is what I said in my response? In any case, the original claim was about this winter. Columbus has only had 23 days with 1" or more snow cover this month, not multiple months.

     

    I'm more north of Columbus and we definitely had more than 23 days of 1" of snow. We had snow from the system after Christmas all the way to the end of January, then a brief melt with another system putting about 3" down that last 2 or 3 weeks. Our typical winter will see snow, then it's melted within a week then maybe a little more a week later etc. Not basically continuous. Yes there were melts but areas were quickly re-covered.

    Wanted to get on and say, I think for the first time in as long as I can remember, we've has snow on the ground for nearly all of the winter, at least here in Knox county. It was never a lot, but we got our first snow right after Christmas. That snow lasted for about a month and a half. Then we went a few days without snow, but the next snow fall, while it is nearly all gone now is still holding on in some shaded spots. So for nearly 3 months we've had snow on the ground. It kinda kills the pre-winter predictions of a warm winter for us. It's not been remotely warm this winter, and we've had snow on the ground for more days than I can ever remember in the past and it was done without ever having a major storm in Central Ohio. Anyone else notice how long the snow stayed on the ground this year?

    I literally just saw this on a news feed and it was like 10 days ago. Ganahl was the goat of cmh weather.   He moved to Columbus from Iowa during the infamous late 70s winters.   I followed and watched him for nearly 45years from when I was in junior high school to becoming a grandpa.    He was a huge snow weenie too, loved cold and snow.   That’s why it was fun to watch him. 
    RIP Jym, May the blizzards be plentiful in heaven!

    For sure. Even had his own snowmaker lol

    Yes! So you’re saying there’s a chance! LOL
    I really hate myself for being this into snow. I often think how/why/when this passion started. I have yet to figure it out. I will say it is therapeutic getting on here to banter & chat about it. So thanks to you all!

    And I just want one big one for my 12 year old to experience. You would have thought we had a blizzard overnight with that 1 inch. He came down so excited! I don’t think he’s ever seen a single snowfall over 5 inches! 

    Childhood. You, like me, probably always went out and sled rode, snowball fights, etc. We had a huge hill and lots of towns kids would go meet up there and go sledding. I remember being in 3rd and 4th grade, my teacher Mr. Vipperman would call my house to ask if we were gonna have snow. I've tortured myself with this since 9 years old lol. I'm 41 on the 10th.

    My son will be 10 the 8th and my daughter just turned 9, the most snow they've seen was Christmas Eve 2020 we got 7" so they were 5 and 6 at the time.
