Snowless in Carrollton

ILX seems to have bumped up the totals from a general 6-8” to 6-10” now. So for me it’s double digit or bust. leggo. Just got me a good bottle of whiskey and gonna try and pull an all nighter. Let’s see who wins the booze or the storm  

I'm glad it's going to be a daytime storm here. I will try to get some sleep and set my alarm for 6am.

They dropped my forecast high tomorrow from 31 to 29 so that's a plus.

Yep. You, Steve and myself all looking at 2-3" per most models. Nothing really to write home about. Hopefully it holds together a little longer to get us in some good stuff, but at this point I'd say 2-3, anything extra is just a bonus. Columbus and points west I'd guess up to 6"

Good luck and Happy Belated Birthday!

I-70 in MO cashes in on the 9Z SREF.

That looks like less snow than most models i have seen for Indiana. Looks like the entire state is below 6" on this model.

I love daytime snow but I am worried a bit with melting as the NWS mentioned.

You are under NWS Wilmington I believe. I'm right there with you on the boarder darke county. In 4-6 range with WWA of 3-5. I look for an upgrade later.

Yes Wilmington covers my area. Indy covers the counties west and north of me and they are all under warnings. I guess Wilmington is not as confident as Indy is.

Funny how there is a warning to the north and south of me and i am in an advisory. Do offices not coordinate with each other ?

I feel like some of you are being too conservative.  I get it though.

I'm afraid being so far east it will all dry up by the time it gets here. I see how all the models show precip diminishing as it gets further east.

I just want 4 inches. Anything more than that will be icing on the cake.

Wilmington is always that way. Slow draw every time. 

I mean they weren't slow to issue a Watch for some areas. I would think they would issue Advisories for the areas adjacent to the Watch areas.

HWO for 2-4 with locally higher amounts.

Why didn't they issue a Winter Weather Advisory ?

I am anticipating 2-4" here although i am hopeful i get lucky and get more.

Im not sure why, but it seems like areas further west always seem to have an easier time getting big snows. Im pretty sure IL, MO, etc have already had way more snow than areas further east and it looks like this storm will be the same.

Like a snow globe outside right now!!!

Yeah here too. It wasnt even supposed to snow here so not sure where its coming from. I am hundreds of miles from Lake Michigan so i know it cant be lake enhanced.

I guess the trends overnight were not good. NWS in Wilmington says only 2-3" for the I-70 corridor.

How realistic is this scenario ? I just have a hard time believing Dayton could get 10".

24 and flakes are flying. Winter is here !

....maybe something to watch in the longer range.    The eps has moved the LR trough axis further west....enough so that I think it puts more of our sub in the game for a potential biggie, if it's right.   Up until now it's looked like any big dog was a lock to be a coastal in the LR.   

So I guess this weekend isnt a biggie ? My definition of biggie may be different than yours though, being from the south. 1-3" is a biggie to me.

Did anyone see the FV3 ? I wonder if it's overdone ? I hope it's right though.

I am thinking about driving to Cincinnati this weekend to see some snow.

Christmas eve....evening.   Columbus was riding the pink and green line while western OH and IN and all places north and east....even DC because of CAD...was getting a snowstorm. 

we got french kissed by the grinch

Speaking of Christmas snows, did you get any snow around Christmas 2004 ?

Where does 12/24/2002 rank?  

What happened on 12-24-02 ?

My fondest memory from the last really good snow goes all the way back to Valentines Day 2007.  Since then it has been near misses or sleet storms for cold rain.   

 

That sure was a sharp cutoff south of Indy.

I forgot you just moved there. Yikes. Trust me...for your area it DOES and WILL get better than what you've seen!

My first year here has been pretty horrible. I got here last January and the biggest snow I have seen was 4". Mostly a bunch of 1-2" events last winter. Practically nothing this winter. I just want to see a 6" snow if that is possible.
