Just in a moat.

Could you elaborate? National Weather Service Text Product Display See for yourself.

Cincinnati is back to snow after some rain. So that's some good news for everyone north of there.

Models seem to be coming in a touch colder today? See the NAM has a foot for Columbus. That seems doubtful, but NAM is usually pretty warm.

Definitely overperformed further west with places in Madison County getting 2-3" when few models had more than an inch at best. Looks like 3-5" across Columbus. Will probably go down as the snowiest Christmas Eve in Columbus ever, which is kind of sad if you think about it. The biggest December 24th snowfall ever before today was 2.7" in 1980. An inch or more has fallen on the date only 4 times since 1884, not including today, and not once in the 40 years since 1980. Before that, there was a 19-year drought. So yeah, it'll probably be a long time before it happens again.

ILN has moved the 4-6" line into far eastern Franklin, Delaware and Pickaway counties.

While everyone is throwing in the towel, ILN just expanded the WWA a few counties in Central Ohio. Most short term models have clearly moved the heavier stuff west, albeit the gradient remains very tight. Snow moving up along Rt 23 into the eastern half of Columbus now.

Live view - AXIS Q6044-E Network Camera (osu.edu) Nice little event for most of Columbus it seems.

I lived in Bellefontaine for several years back in the '90s. Not my fondest place I've lived, but one bright side was the winters tended to be awesome. The elevation always seems to allow for a lot more snow and cold than surrounding areas and rarely deals with the rain-snow line that plagues the I-70/I-71 corridors.
