Played softball against him around 30 years ago - he was pretty good. The two games that I played against him he was their pitcher.

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.
