Should get some great ratios with the snow tonight I would think.  20:1?

Can anyone confirm. A guy arguing with me says it was this cold last winter.

Thursday night/friday is a warm air advection set up.   Those are another type of set up that can often lead to surprises.

I'm watching 8-9 days out around the 7th. While I get this setup usually sucks for us, realistically(and you'll agree), they are the best chance for big snows of 8"+

Just taken.

Same here. Went to run a few errands and came out of Kroger to a hard snow squall, nothing on radar.

ILN and CLE are too far away to accurately pick up little events like this for Newark. I think we're both in a radar no man's land. Before my time there was a NWS radar in CMH, 90's budget cuts got rid of it.

Makes sense. Didnt last long but got the ground white.

Don't ever recall a winter weather advisory where no precip was expected.  Why wouldn't a wind chill warning cover things?

Weird that radar shows nothing over me and its snowing hard out

Well just turned to the backside snow. Looks to last about 10 minutes lmao. Some of my snow cover held on today thanks to trees and shade. Was hoping for a quick quarter inch at least to cover the ground but that looks unlikely now too.

Edit: back yard snow cover is in fact, front yard is spotty. Snowed moderately for about 10 minutes but not enough to cover the bare spots. Hoping the little bit of snow on backside of radar touches for half hour to cover the bare.

Ontario currently. What might have been lol.

Going to be very difficult to get lower than-10 without snow cover.

Its Ohio. It won't be surprising for our snow to melt and then have -40 windchills lol

euro now has our coldest temps coming in only at around -3 or 4.   zzzzzzzzzzzz   what an absolute overhyped joke this is turning out to be, this may not even end up as cold as the period we had a week or so ago.

Only 1 model. Most still show near -15 and lower. After the euros recent swing and misses I have about as much faith in it as I do the icon.

Am I missing something? Went to two places in Knox county and both places heard someone saying we are getting an ice storm tomorrow. Like what weather are you all watching lol

When was the last time central Ohio got a real snowstorm (6+ inches)? This is my 4th winter in cbus, and I don't think I've had more than 4 inches imby. 

Was close to 6" with last weekend's storm.

As for the Monday system I wrote it off 2 or 3 days ago I think I posted I was waving it off. The writing was on the wall early with it. No way you was getting a 200 mile shift south and the odds of it spinning something up on the backside outside of a half inch or so was dreamland anyways. It's not even February yet. Let's hold off. 2 of my all time favorite storms came in February and March.

Wow... radar look good to our west last night.. even got a few snowflakes and then the WTOD took over... we can't even get a clipper to perform here... bring on spring!!

Hmm I got about 2.5-3" of powdery snow. Woke up to a winter wonderland. Radar didnt make sense either though, it showed light snow over me but it was snowing relatively hard and windy.

I almost get the feeling that some people are rooting for it get as cold as possible next week. I don't really understand that logic but whatever.

Well how many times in your life will you see -50 windchills. Or even -20 air temp in central Ohio lol

Waving white flag for Monday I believe outside of an inch or 2. Hope for a shift south but models are pretty consistent on snow being north of 30, outside of the euro which essentially still only gives a couple inches

Hope the gfs is wrong....that would be a really insulting way to usher in a record cold outbreak. 

Would think with the small Saturday clipper some  cold would be in place, but who knows anymore

Holy God. What a clipper on monday.

Yeah, I see it on the east coast. I guess there's still time for some changes. They'll have to be major though and appear in next day or so..

It was just 1 panel of 53 lol. I wouldn't hold my breath.

1 hour ago, chuckster2012 said:

It still shows it? Op run shows no low anywhere near Ohio. You'd think that a low that strong would show up on nearly all the models at 192 hours..

No because its only a few panels that show a strong low. Only one that shows it. And it kinda does show it. But it's off the coast. Gets down to 977 I believe

00z Gfs shows nothing of the sort now on day 7. A real sh*t run... 

It was in the gefs not OP run.

And the gefs has several members with sub 990 lows near ohio

And day number what is this again, 9? Man, could you even imagine?

Day 7. And no. I couldn't imagine. Itd be 25" of snow with 65 mph winds lol

For more fun, euro had a 977 too.

At least at that LAT it surely is. What run of the GEFS are you talking, 21/12z?

12z. Here ya go. And just for fun, because we'll likely never see that happen, here's the snow map for it as well lol.

supposedly 990 would be the lowest mslp in the gulf (in winter) since March 93.

I'm just curious how often one of the gefs members shows such a strong low. Is it often it shows something like that? I dont recall seeing it, but I dont really look at every single individual member usually either.
