    Looks like the fat lady has approached the microphone for winter 2020-2021.   Every indice I've seen is showing a warm signal moving ahead thru March.   I might be a little early here but even if we don't see another flake of snow, I'm giving this winter an B+/A-.     It's all relative but here are my thoughts,

    -Christmas eve/day snow

    -Multi-week snow cover

    -Avoided insanely cold temps

    -Insane block allowed us to avoid cutter city (considering it was a nina winter)

    -Yea, I know....what about the sleet storm and what could have been?  Oh well, was still our first winterstorm in awhile and was fun to track.  Granted, had that been all snow I might have had to go with an A+ .

    -Let's not forget, we would have killed for similar  stuff the last few winters.....as I said, it's all relative.

    Well,

    I'm very much a reader here, rarely a poster.  Therefore I will add one more positive to this winter.  We did see the return of Buckeye.  Nice to see that.  Hasta

    Guys,

    The pics and videos really capture the intensity of that derecho.  Fortunately, by the time the storms reached us here just south of Dayton OH, top winds speeds in my backyard were 47mph.  Hope you guys stayed safe and didn't suffer too much damage.

    Our best hope is with a front end thump....    our miracle Hail Mary would be just enough dynamic cooling with significant precip rates to get some respectable slop...and that's a Hail Mary.

    I can't recall what winter, I think it was 13-14, but the day leading up to an overnight event, all the models kept the rain snow line about 20 miles north of the city.    When the snow wall hit it stayed snow and we picked up like 8-10" overnight, even places further south did well.  Granted that was a different set up and a different time....long long ago lol.. .but the incredibly tight rain/snow line being modeled just north of us reminds me of that.     

    I'm withJay /\ though, ready to move on while expecting the usual crapfest.   At least we were never really in the game, so at least it can't disappoint.

    BTW, where's Angry?   He might do pretty good with this, isn't he around Findlay?

    I remember that 2013 storm very well.  Forecasters in the Dayton area finally gave up on the snow, sure that the rain/snow line was north of us....

    Then all of a sudden, a couple of hours before the storm hit, iluvsnow sends me a email with bold letters saying "WAGONS SOUTH!"  That night we got that 8-10 inches of all snow, great ratios too.  Ah...the good ole days...

    Things off the top of my head...

    2012 Derecho

    2014 June microburst causing substantial damage in my neighborhood

    2019 Mid January snowstorm breaking a near 4 year winter storm warning drought.

              Spring brought heavy rains and flooding.

              Unexpected Memorial Day tornado outbreak. I say that because it was supposed to be more of an IL/IN event. EF4 was 1/2 mile north of me.

              Minor snowfall in November at having 90's to end October.

    Was that 2014 microburst the same one that gave me a ton of hail damage to my roof?  Anyways, back to Winter....

    I remember enjoying the Winter of 2013/2014. Starting in December, we have multiple snow storms throughout.  Some forecast, a couple of misses, and a couple of surprises.

    Iluvsnow and I are buddies, and neighbors (along with HightechEE).  Bellbrook!

    Full disclosure:  Despite my solid-citizen-weenie status, I work at WHIO-TV.  I'm in ad sales, but I do have the luxury of spending time in the weather office.  The Mets know I'm a snow weenie, and they enjoy showing me their perspective.

    Of course,

    I learn so much more coming here.  It's a blast!  Keep up the great posts and commentary.

    Looking at the graphics and maps above, my house is right there - where the 8-12" line touches the 6-8" line :-)
