The noon HRRR keeps the sleet/snow line....virtually unmoved for the next 8 hours before slowly sinking SE. Here it is 8 hours down the line....

EE....for once....I hope the NWS is right....not sure what they are seeing....but the HRRR is pretty insistent on keeping us in the sleet sheet lol

All sleet here in Bellbrook. Freezing rain initially. The short range models for us want to keep it all sleet virtually all day. Not the way we wanted it to play out. Long train of moisture. Models (HRRR, Nam, etc. don't switch to snow till this evening....however it has it then snowing, hard initially, then moderately well into Friday evening. If only could get the snow sleet line to push south another 15 miles or so.

Thanks EE. Keep the fingers crossed. If 1/6th of that happened....we'd have something to tell our grandkids some day.

GFS at noon, so far, looks a hair further south with the sleet/snow line....but that just may be my bad eyes. EE, please replicate your column temp forecast chart for the noon GFS run, when its available. Maybe it snows mostly in Kables Mill and Eagle Rise and sleets in Waynesville

Concur on the HRRR looking better. Of course it depends on where you live. Kinda like whistling Johnny Cash....(I Walk the Line)

What was once ours....is yet once more matriculating to the blessed ones up north. What else is new. Maybe next winter will change up our luck. Time to pack up our whopping 3 inches of snow this winter and bring on Spring.

Color me shocked.......NOT!

Close to two inches here just Southeast of Dayton in Bellbrook. We were fortunate the far western band inched a bit further NW than forecast. Throw a rock west of Dayton and its zippo. Sad that we get excited for a couple of inches of snow in mid January. That's what happens when you have to wait this deep into winter to get that white elixir. Maybe our fortunes are changing.

In the the olden days....the days of yore....having a storm in the deep south....such as this....often brought our best snows. It often became the prototypical apps runner. That was the olden days,,,before the snow gods developed a deep hate for Ohio.

Time to move on to our next head fake....a visit from the Polar Vortex two weeks from Saturday

Yea radar is showing a slender finger of flurries extending up into the Dayton area....should be over soon. Its the only remnant we will get out of what was to be our snow event a few days ago....now turning into a 7 to 9 inch event for parts of Kentucky and Tennessee. Who did we piss off upstairs?

This annual winter thread started October 3rd and remained at one page through all of December. In four days we add four pages....and zip to show for it. Winter in the OV

Pardon my barging into your sub-forum from up north....but thought I would impart info on just how cold that Russian air is currently. These figures from today are the coldest I have seen in many a year.....especially for so early in the season. If any of this heads our way....better order a few more cords of wood. t Minimum Temperature Last 24h - 12/08/2021 at 18:00 UTC No. Location Station ID Amount 1 Delyankir (Russia) 24691 -77.8°F 2 Ojmjakon (Russia) 24688 -74.0°F 3 Nera (Russia) 24585 -67.9°F 4 Yurty (Russia) 24588 -67.0°F 5 Agayakan (Russia) 24684 -64.8°F 6 Iema (Russia) 24477 -63.0°F 7 Verhojansk (Russia) 24266 -62.7°F 8 Ekyuchchyu (Russia) 24361 -61.2°F 9 Segen-Kyuel' (Russia) 24661 -60.9°F 10 Ust'- Moma (Russia) 24382 -60.2°F 11 Batagaj (Russia) 24263 -57.8°F 12 Batamaj (Russia) 24656 -56.6°F 13 Verhoyanskij Perevoz (Russia) 24668 -56.4°F 14 Tugoncani (Russia) 23589 -56.2°F 15 Baimka-Baimra (Russia) 25335 -55.7°F Script courtesy of Michael Holden of Relay Weather.

Carver....you give enthusiasts the best analysis on this board....about any sub-forum. Just wanted to say how much we in the Great Lakes and Oho Valley appreciate the work. I wish we had someone of your knowledge and expertise up here...but having access to your posts will suffice. Keep up the great work.

About zenith here in Dayton area......

Always good to see the first snow flakes of the season.....

Mark your calendars fellow weenies....October 7th....first digital snow of the season for the forum......not a chance in hell of happening....

Where are we in total global sea ice? How is this in relationship to the past?

I saw that Almanac forecast too...misread it...thought it said itchy and flaky...and wondered if it meant a warm winter with lots of fleas

So sorry Brian....just tragic!

For we in Ohio....its looking more and more likely it will be at least July before we see our first 90 degree reading. Last half of June looking to be below normal. I'll take it.

Wish we could share all this rain further west. Ohio has had a pretty Garden of Eden type start to summer.

EE...you will need everything from sunscreen to umbrella's and heat packs. Spring time in Ohio....gotta love it. Have a great time!

Out my backdoor in Bellbrook, OH....near Dayton.
