Still rain in bexley 

I'll take the 17 inches the Canadian is showing for next week in columbus. 'cause that'll happen... 

But serious question: While I have yet to see a good solid snowstorm (widespread 6+) in the nearly 5 years since I moved to central Ohio, I have to assume it is possible. So how do we get big snows around here? East coast storms are too far east, lakes cutters are too warm, and apps runners are rare unicorns. Are overrunning events our best bet? When I lived in NY I knew exactly what kind of setup to look for. We didn't always get the big snows, but I knew which patterns had potential. Here, I don't even know what I'm looking for. Help!

Snow-starved in C-bus

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Mainly rain now in bexley 

Unidentified light precip has begun in bexley. Seems to be a combination of snow and sleet ("sneet"? "slow"?)

Don't look now, but it looks like the mid-day nam and gfs are showing us a little (a very little) more love with the final wave this week... 

When is the last time central or southern Ohio got a real, honest-to-goodness snowstorm (let's say 6+ inches)? I moved to cbus 4 years ago and have yet to see more than about 4 inches imby... 

(tho at this point I'd gladly take anything...) 

Pixie dust here in Bexley. Very pretty... 

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.

I think we're all collectively holding our breaths for today's runs knowing the storm is now being sampled lol. I know I'm a tad nervous.

That's the problem with being in the bullseye 2 days out - - nowhere to go but down... 

Anyone know why the NAM has been consistently showing all snow for the weak Thursday system, while every other model has been showing a messy mix? Is it just because the NAM sucks and is wrong? Or could the NAM be picking up the cold air better? And if so, might that have any implications for the weekend storm? So many questions... 

Yup, the line between lots of snow and lots of ice once again goes right through cbus. I feel like if you zoomed in close enough you'd see it go right thru my house. 

Big beautiful flakes here in Bexley. A harbinger of things to come...?
