Bengals headed to the Super Bowl and NW Ohio looking at 10-16” per the Euro right now? End is near for sure

Damn, that high pressure tells everyone I’m gonna take the W here

I always say with the weather “What goes up, must come down” and I figured the extremely above average December would be followed by a below average January. But this is insane, almost a 2013-14 type pattern just lighting up the Eastern US at the moment. New England gets buried this weekend, and the Great Lakes gets buried next week

Imagine expecting the Euro to cave towards the GFS. I will say typically in general these lows book it for Chicago/Detroit but only time will tell. Sort of a weird storm in just how drawn out it is, 36 hours of legit snow at this time

I suggest you read up on that storm. Drifts were up to 20’, winds gusted to 60 mph, barometric pressure bottomed out around 956 MB. No one really knows how much snow either because of the wind

Amazing to see these model runs. If I’m not mistaken in 2009 we received a similar storm that was a 1’ of long drawn out snow. To see the Euro pumping out 15-25” across NW Ohio with isolated amounts of 30” is almost incomprehensible

I said it before this week, that conveyor belt looked slightly over amped

I need to schedule a work trip to Toledo ASAP

I'd personally never want to see it. Growing up in Northern OH, anything over 10" was quite debilitating to the region and that was with a plethora of snowplows and houses having proper heating. Many down here don't and a storm of that size is going to have tons of cold on the backside of it that will linger for a few days at least. The infrastructure already cannot support the population surge, I cannot imagine what would happen if SC got something like that. To this storm, I'm interested to see how much convective feedback may be playing into it. Euro is bombing it to around 965 MB which would be on par with the Midwest Blizzard of 78 strength wise. I think the conveyor belts may be a little overamped which could be why it's so hell bent on dropping 2-4" when in reality 1-2" is probably more likely with isolated amounts of 3"

If there’s one thing I miss, it’s pond hockey. Just an awesome time

100%. It’s easy to love the GFS and it’s over amped solutions though

I have to say it’s quite something to go from basically April/May weather to true winter conditions

Feel like I’m back in Ohio tonight. 20° with football on and cold Coors

Pretty cool to see the amount of snow up in NC. What a wacky year with back to back snowstorms through the South

Just feels like a hard wish cast map. Hard to expect these results out of such a weak low

Definitely could see some accretion on Friday night here in Charleston, but it'll be so difficult with today's warm weather I think for things to get too dicey around here. If anything I think the "re-freeze" opportunities on Saturday night could create more challenges than the actual freezing rain event itself, inland temps around the Charleston metro will probably dip below 20!

Hot take

It will not be huge because we're still days out, not really even in Winter Storm Watch range. From the looks of it though, seems like one hell of an ice storm for the Carolinas

0.0" but lol currently flying back. A little bit coming into DC

Hearing from people that Cleveland is basically immobilized at the moment from the storm

Textbook storm with a rapidly deepening low underway. Should see about a 10 mb drop over the next 6-10 hours which is going to make this thing absolutely rip. Hopefully sleet doesn’t impact snowfall totals but it’s a definitely possibility if this thing trends further west

Yeah I believe they got around 20” in the Superstorm

Greenville, Spartanburg and especially Asheville are getting smoked here and Charlotte is going to have one hell of a gradient. Still think snow totals are going to come in a bit higher than the models suggest with that cold air aloft, it won’t be all concrete

High pressure weakens a bit and slides east while the main low deepens from 1000 MB to around 990 MB in 12 hours. Of course it’s going to go hard poleward during that time, and it’s steered by the high as well

Combined with the wind & mostly cold temps the following few days after, this is definitely a no bueno event for Charlotte
