I'm gonna say it may be a bust in Central Ohio. Whole lotta nothing here.

Got about 5.5" here in knox county. Some areas of Coshocton County seen close to 10". Pretty unexpected for such a small system.

Although we, (ohio), have had no real snow this winter, we still have our dignity.   A 4 page thread for 2 glorified car-toppers and a week of seasonably cold weather is both proportionate and reasonable.  

Well done!  

Nearly 3 winters, sadly. Ohio, for whatever reason, is dead for snow.

It's over

 

Yep. I'd say so. Was good for 2 runs. Lol.

I've been watching, but the bust potential in the negative is bigger than the bust potential in the positive.    

1. temps.... looks like this is a nocturnal-driven frozen event.   I'm not even sure the temps are ever supposed to get below freezing before, during, after.

2. The stripe of good cement is pretty narrow and will most likely be a nowcast event.

3. the recent winters and non-events have cemented my skepticism on anything to do with snow.

other than that I'm fully on board!!!! 

Well the 18z runs just sh*t in all of our cereal. ALL south now. What's the ensembles look like?

12k vs 3k. Both have the low in the same position, yet the 12k seemingly cuts off all moisture. Feel like the 3k is what we'd typically see with a low in central WV. Any thoughts?

What's with the huge difference in the 12k nam and the 3k Nam. 3k is significantly more north than the 12k, and I don't recall ever seeing that. Usually they're very close, with the 3k just being more hd.

Sweet GFS 12z has a foot of snow for the Dayton area Monday night into Tuesday morning! Also piles another 8 inches over the next two weeks! You know you can lock that in for S. Ohio 

Seen that. No other model is showing anything for us 2 days out lol.

This may be the worst winter I can ever remember. I know a couple years ago was bad, but we aren't even getting nickel and dimed. I'm not sure where to check for snow totals for the winter, but I know it has to be under 4"

lol i have changed over to snow

34° and mix here. Never got into the 40s like supposed to. But still rain snow mix amounts to nothing but mud regardless lol. 

Edit: roads are actually slop covered(wet slippery snow)

Atleast we will get the arctic temperature drop....before it warms up again and becomes a rainy four months.

Hopefully it warms to 65-70 and rain then lol. At least the temps will be enjoyable. 

Well, see y'all next year. Barring a monster, I see no reason to continue logging on. Pretty sad when back to back monsters take the exact same path. At this point I'm rooting for a torch after this dry and cold garbage. I really couldn't care less about February/March snows. Even if they do amount to anything, they're melted within a day or 2. Best of luck the rest of the way.

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

Yep. Winter is dead here. Idk if it's a climate shift or what, but there's gotta be a reason we rarely get any storms of 6" or more any longer.

yep.     I have a feeling this coming 'cold shot', (which isn't anything other than a typical severe cold shot we get every winter), will be all she wrote.   I'm not buying the rock'n FEB bs.     This is why I've slowly de-coupled myself from the winter wx aspect of this hobby the last few years.  Sure, I still love severe wx events, but I'm thinking of changing to a new hobby, one that has a better chance of scoring than a central Ohio snowstorm.   Gonna join the local Big Foot spotters club.

I kinda agree. Ohio is basically dead mans land for snow storms. I don't wanna sound like my grandparents, but I seem to remember more storms when I was a kid(turned 40 today). I've been coming on here since like 03-04 when i was 20, and in that span I can think of 2 actual memorable storms. Idk what's happened, but el nino, la nina it doesn't matter, they both screw us here. I'll keep an eye in hops of a se shift, but I'm about 1% confidence we'll see a system over 3" this year.

Stuck a fork in Saturday, she's done. The only time when the models give this much consensus is when it's gonna screw Central Ohio lol.

It seems likely this one misses just NW and isn't strong enough to give us any backend snow. Then the follow up wave early next week gets suppressed...

Not strong enough? It's sub 980. NAM has it at 969mb

Potential storm brewing for next Sunday, surprised there's no talk in here about it. 

Ya mean no comments? We're about to take an inch and take it hard.

Trivia. Quick - what's the last winter you were NOT disappointed?

Certainly hasn't been many memorable ones. 2010, 2014 only 2 decent ones that come to mind unless ya go back to 2008(March blizzard) or PD2

Don't wanna get into a climate change discussion, but does it seem more like the dates of our seasons have changed? Meaning, winter seems more like from late January to end of March the past few years. Spring seems to go to mid June, summer to October etc. 

Well aside a couple stragglers, looks like we can close the book to another craptastic winter. I'll give it an F+ because of the Christmas system. Aside that this wouldn't even register as an F. Barring a monster severe outbreak, talk to you guys in about 8 months lol.

Well, it’s official. February 2023 was the LEAST snowiest on record for Columbus with a TRACE. Easily a D- in my book for this winter. ONLY reason not an F in my book is b/c of white Christmas. So, in light of that, GO F YOURSELF MOTHER NATURE!!!

Can’t wait for a miserable spring soccer season too. Yippee!!!

You fellow Ohio’ins take care of yourself & hope to talk a lot more snow next winter!

Officially going on record to say CMH records 50"+ Next winter. We are due for a big winter. Feel free to drag me one year from today lol.

SHE'S OUTTA HERE! Lol. We've reached Wisconsin. Minnesota and or possibly North Dakota as the final stop?

I'd say any hope for this one can be put to bed early. Probably gonna end up in Wisconsin.

Yesterday's 18z GFS had 38" for the Findlay area, and lowered my SE side of Dayton to a couple inches for this coming Friday, this morning's 06z run shifted everything to a line from central Illinoise to Toledo with 2ft+ with nothing IMBY. 

It's been doing that run to run. Shifting south, then north. The issue I see is no other model has the phasing that happens except the GFS. It's been consistently showing it, I'll give it that.
