Both my old stomping grounds of Toledo & Marysville look to cash in nicely here. Glad to see it! I’ll be following ODOT cams eagerly while sitting on my sunny porch in shorts here

I think 3-6" is a pretty safe bet on Wednesday, however this thing being pushed a bit east helps make 4-8" more likely. Still, I'm as confident as you can be that NW Ohio will see 8-16" on Thursday

Oh I am on Wednesday for sure. It'll take a second for the front to pass and the column to completely cool

Obviously mixing will cut down some of these absurd numbers a bit, but still this is a pretty insane to see so close to the event. Just for context, Toledo averages 37" of snow a year & Findlay gets 25". This storm at a likely 3-6" Wednesday and 8-16" on Thursday could drop over half season's worth in 36 hours. Also lets not forget, the backside of this is going to drop air temps into potentially the negative double digits on Friday

I really don't see it. This isn't some deep, big low pressure barreling through the Great Lakes region. It's a double wave gulf system with tons of moisture fighting against a strong High pressure of to its west. If anything this is going to go east on future model runs in my opinion. I really think though this is going to be a dangerous situation on Wednesday night into Thursday as that pressure gradient is going to create almost impossible travel conditions with that wind, and you're going to have extremely cold temperatures behind it. I feel very confident in a 10-20" call for NW Ohio though

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
