Yep - I'm in the county north of Columbus. I don't see severe happening here, but ILN still saying that there's a chance. If it appears that they'll get severe, then I'll go home and work from there. Easier to work at the office, but would rather have the car in the garage and a basement if necessary

Agree - heard a local met on the radio talking about how it may clear out enough to fire up the storms, and that's what they said last week. Don't see that happening with the amount of rain we're supposed to get.

Certainly hope it was more due to the overperformance from a couple weeks ago, as it's a pretty sad state of affairs if they caved to pressure from social media. I was wondering why we stayed in a moderate risk after all of the rain that we had overnight and this morning, then the one early this afternoon. The TV mets who were on the radio were still saying that we were in a moderate risk this afternoon, but the sun wasn't out that long today for any destabilizing to occur. Totally understand that it's not an exact science, but never saw where the necessary factors would be in play up here.

Yep - as I said above, when I got the call that school was letting out early, knew that it was game over. Certainly don't fault the school district with all of the hype, as there was some chatter about a Xenia-like event.

You'd think that could have been predicted - everyone was saying that the morning convection would suck out the energy, but NWS continued to say that the paramaters were in place for a major severe event. Realize that some are getting severe weather, but up this way it was a lot worse last night and this monring. Should have known it would be a bust up here when they let school out 90 minutes early.

Tend to agree. I recall last year in March, there was similar chatter the day before, and it turned out all we had was a steady rain, or the Jan 2019 "foot of snow" that ended up a few inches.

Forgive my ignorance, but this means an Apps runner? Even I know that means heavy snow here.

Still way too far out, but would love a nice Christmas Eve blizzard if for nothing else it will keep my wife’s idiot sister from coming up to visit that day. .

No kidding on the one from last January - hyped as a mega-storm by local media so much that schools canceled all events and ended up an all-day rain with some snow overnight. Not getting excited about this one - stranger things have happened.

Sleeting pretty good in LC

Honestly, I'd just as soon get nothing and have this go down as one of the biggest busts that I've seen.

Sleet in Lewis Center - if nothing else it's been a steady stream of precipitation (except for snow) all day.

No kidding - I have my wife barking that they don't know what they're talking about (neither does she most of the time but she still feels the need to let me know her uneducated opinion).

Appears quiet at the moment in LC

Agree - not putting much stock in models

Upstairs with the kids and hear the sleet hitting the window. Was out about 30-45 min ago and it was plain old rain at that time.

This reminds me of the Saturday from I think 2005 - didn't have the ability to work from home so went to the office with a Winter Storm Warning calling for 8-12". Got to the office early, worked for several hours, then looked outside and saw nothing. Logged into the NWS site and saw the WSW was downgraded to a WWA. Went back to my desk for a few hours, looked out again, and still nothing. Went back to NWS site and they removed the WWA. That was a total bust.

Yep - I was 10, living in the Akron/Cleveland area. I recall them calling off school which I couldn't figure out as it was around 50 and raining. All I recall after that is being off school for a week.

Have to believe that the school districts that canceled today's events are ticked - our district sent out a text blast yesterday afternoon canceling all events.

My wife says the naysayers are out on FB, saying ILN dropped the ball. I don't see what they could done as the models were calling for up to a foot or more when I went to bed last night at 11. I'm afraid the next time a storm heads this way people will ignore it. Radio says Jym Ganahl is calling for blizzard conditions later, FWIW.

WTVN says that PA Turnpike going to be shut down for commercial vehicles until tomorrow.

You're a stone's throw from my office (maybe a small cannon) - I'm next to the Chase complex. Much better now that they fixed S Old State. My computer says it's 33 now.

I'm working from my home office (my real office is at Polaris but decided to work from home). To be fair, I'm just looking out the window - haven't been outside yet although may go out to try to start the snowblower, which crapped out on me last week. Where in LC? I'm up in Orange Twp just to the west of the park.

Plain rain here in Lewis Center - haven't seen a whiff of snow.

I stand corrected - just decided to go outside and sleeting pretty good. Driveway and street are covered. Even saw the mailman come before 9:30. I know better than to think this way, but I'm starting to think this will end up like the early Dec 2013 storm, where we were projected to get up to a foot and ended up with around 3", IIRC.
