Wow Jan '67, my personal all time best, 28" of heavy wet snow in 24hrs in the NW corner of Athens Co in SE Ohio. We were getting 6" every 4hrs for 12hrs in a row, some flakes were the size of the palm of my 7yr old hand! We have to shovel off our carport roof as my dad was afraid it was going to colapse!

Add this one to your wall from last year! I think we may have got no snow at all from this eye candy map.

Alright time for this nonsense to stop, The Lets Talk Winter thread has been around since this EasternWX days and it has a subtitle "Ohio and Surrounding States" NOT JUST OHIO, learn how to read people! It's not our fault the powers at be created a subforum thread thats so big that some folks in different states could have no interest in states that are so far away. For instance the northern Min/Wis/UP areas have entirely different climates than the southeastern ones in this sub. Hence the Ohio and Surrounding States was created (thank you Steve) so these folks can be a little more focused as Buckeye eluded to recently.

The Japan Ocean Effect is quite impressive (we know what they're complaining about): Japan Ocean Effect

All snow IMBY and has got heavier with large flakes.

We got about a quarter of a skiff here on the SE side of Dayton, good bit of sleet had mixed in, back to mostly snow now.

Just started snowing little puffballs on the SE side of Dayton.

That's not a donut hole over N IL, its a bullet hole!!! (normally reserved for S Ohio)

Well not quite, 18z pushed it back a whole week with 5 - 8" snows for all of S. Ohio the end of next week (take that to the bank)

Great, Gulf Coast states gets more snow out of one storm than we get in most of our winter months: https://www.weather.gov/ Gatlingburg, TN 4 to 8" tonight into tmar morning, with a foot in the mountains.

The 57th Hocking Hills Annual Winter Hike is in two weeks at the Old Man Cave State Park and no ice formations or snow so far. With the models showing near normal temps over the next two weeks, no hope for the real winter like scenes. The last real winter we've had here in Ohio was Jan. of 2014 and my avatar pic was at Ash Cave that year, it almost froze all the way to the top (85ft) and that only has happend once since I've been around and it happened in Jan/Feb of '78.

5.10" total so far IMBY for this system, this has only happened once in the 23 yrs I've been in this house (first time about 20yrs ago my 5 inch plastic rain gauge overflowed lol, didn't know the total back then): https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KOHBELLB15

Actually it was Springvalley, 5 miles east of me!

I've got a horrible feeling about this set up for SW Ohio tonight, too eerily similar to the Memorial Day storms 2yrs ago. Extreme heat mid 90s in S. Indiana, 100 in St Louis to feed this system all night. I remember people back then talking about CCAPS (sp), anyone that knows what those are can comment on tonight's situation?

The same IMBY on the SE side of Dayton, about 4"!

4" IMBY as well, and a group of us is going camping today thru Sunday down in Highland Co

Heavy wet snow mixed with sleet just started on the SE side of Dayton. Update: and is sticking to elevated surfaces now at 32.4 degrees.

Was glancing thru ILN's wind reports from yesterdays wind storm and found an anomaly in my town: :3/25/2021,1155 PM, OH, Greene, 1 ESE Bowersville, , , 39.5706, -83.7047, PKGUST, 16, mph, OHDOT, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,1253 AM, OH, Greene, Fairborn, , , 39.8081, -83.9579, PKGUST, 32, mph, CWOP, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0450 AM, OH, Greene, Beavercreek, , , 39.753, -84.074, PKGUST, 39, mph, CWOP, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0430 AM, OH, Greene, Xenia, , , 39.7217, -83.9962, PKGUST, 41, mph, CWOP, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0354 AM, OH, Greene, Spring Valley, , , 39.6002, -83.9733, PKGUST, 42, mph, CWOP, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0340 AM, OH, Greene, Wright-Patterson AFB, , , 39.8167, -84.0333, PKGUST, 59, mph, AWOS, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0335 AM, OH, Greene, Xenia Greene County Apt, , , 39.7, -83.9833, PKGUST, 60, mph, AWOS, Peak Wind Gust, :3/26/2021,0518 AM, OH, Greene, Bellbrook, , , 39.636, -84.0708, PKGUST, 112, mph, CWOP, Peak Wind Gust, pretty sure there was no 112MPH wind gusts anywhere near here!

Going to be a while before the Rocky River thaws and we can get back to Steelhead fishing!

Hit 64 IMBY today (forecast was 53) before the rain, only took 2.5 days to melt all the natural snow in the yards.

I'd say Jan 2014 would be the last time we had consecutive weeks with decent snow cover, that year it was for the whole month, not just 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.

The biggest problem with yesterday's storm is the jet stream wasn't right for us, draw a line from New Orleans to Cleveland it didn't matter what the ground temps were, if you were on or east of that line, that's where the WTOD road that line. When you see Gulf Coast states, like S Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi get hammered with heavy snow and temps in the low teens to single digits, that's what burns our a$$eS!

I live about 1 mile from ilusnow and we had sleet to start, went over to fairly heavy snow but only lasted like 20mins, then 6 hrs of fairly heavy sleet, then about 9 last night went over to snow then it became heavy for a couple hours. So over 1" of sleet/crap, then 3-4" of fluff on top over that. Thurs system is a whiff to the south for a foot for the Ohio river folks, then NW trend this time will be directly over the I-71 crowd!

Picked up 1 new inch in the past 40 mins, definitely more than 1"/hr rates right now IMBY.

Just switched back to at least moderate snow here on the SE side of Dayton, lost almost 8 hrs of snow with this system.
