Moderate to heavy sleet/freezing rain band just rolled through here. Got caught out walking the dog and the sleet wasn’t the typical pellet form, but rather chunks of ice. It actually stung lol. Temps are hovering right at 31/32 so we’ll see if it rises and changes to plain rain. There is some dripping off elevates surfaces, but I blame the heavy rate equally as the temps.

Good chance this little clipper will be CMH's biggest storm "officially". Not hard to top as the airport reported 4.0" for the 1/12 storm and 3.6" with the 1/19-1/20 "bust". Ratios will be on the upper end, as mentioned before, with the deep cold air and I-70 looks to be in the best position. I don't think this has been really mentioned much with all the talk around the cold, so likely many people will be surprised tomorrow morning.

CMH currently is -2 which is the low so far. Didn’t approach -7 like forecasted. However, the OSU airport bottomed out at -3, Bolton Field at -6, and Rickenbacker at -7.
-
That is likely true, wind chills are definitely colder now than early January 2018. Those nights were radiational cooling nights after we had a clipper drop a few inches of snow right before New Years.

We did. At least here in the city. 1/2 and 1/3 last year were -3 and -4. So far today we’re -4 and that was at noon. It’s actually risen 5 degrees since. As jb mentioned, we might have trouble dropping much to reach the -7/-8 forecasted here in the city. Haven’t been able to check local obs or any upper air soundings to make a true forecast.

Stronger and further displaced High in southern Canada pushing the Mon-Tues clipper closer to us on the GFS. Similar to the Euro, but stronger.

I’d estimate 5” here, which isn’t bad considering it snowed for a 5-6 hour window. The wind was pretty spectacular, had a few drifts of 2-2.5’ next to my garage which is a decent size for being in the city.
-
Crazy winds, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen winds like this with falling snow. Been snowing for 3 hours and there’s probably 2” on the ground? Hard to tell with the wind and I’m eyeballing from inside.
-
Nice! What part of the city?
-
Sleet has now transitioned to snow.
-
I definitely feel your frustration, but you should be switching to snow any time now. Radar looks great in SW Ohio and Indiana.
-
Heavy sleet here, snow is just 10 miles away.
-
Just additional evidence on how the HRRR is not completely accurate, the 0z run has 0 QPF (at 01z) across Cincinnati. An obvious check of the radar debunks that already.
-
Per the 0z HRRR, 850s Will finally crash through Franklin County by 9pm. And eyeing what’s headed NE out of Cincinnati, hoping that is the beginning of a decent catch-up.

Sleet mixing in with rain in the city.
