I like 6-9" for the Toledo area. Do have a little worry with as cold and dry as it will be that this eats into the QPF a bit.

If I’m not mistaken it’s not going to even get into the 20s for Toledo during this entire event. Should help with the ratios quite a bit. Blowing and drifting is going to be insane this week

Or they could be one of the worst forecast offices in the country. Even Toledo TV mets frequently take shots at them and the "I-75 wall"

It'd be nice to see some sunshine here in Charleston. Feel like I'm back in the Great Lakes

Why is Joseph Goebbels being discussed on a weather forum lol

I have not. Last hike I had was in October I believe. Quite a few snowstorms though just outside of the Piedmont, I'd say elevations from Hickory on up have faired quite well. I was in Charlotte during a sleet storm two weekends ago (it quickly melted).

Man what a pattern for this region. Break out the snowmobiles & hockey skates, good shot that 20 degrees is not achieved in Toledo for the next week.

Well my boss caught it before Christmas and a few others did as well in the Fall so they’re immune at the moment. Big concern is some projects have completely fallen apart & they’ve caught people nationally who are working half days and collecting a check.

Welp after nearly a year entirely working from home, I've been instructed to begin returning to the office starting next Tuesday. Will be weird to actually be in dress pants daily, but feels somewhat normal I suppose. Also will have to start traveling (not by plane) as well

Crazy that nothing was issued. 3-5” across Toledo seems to be the consensus. With not even an advisory...

I’m hearing 5” in Bowling Green? Insane storm

I think compaction, sleet mixing in, low snow ratios & this thing losing its moisture transport slowly as it drifts into a storm off the Seaboard hurts the totals a little bit compared to models. Interesting storm but these ratios are not ideal for anything over 10" as we've seen in the past For NW Ohio 3-5" east of 75, 4-8" west of it. 4-8" for all of Northern IN 6-10" for Northern IL

That's what I'm thinking could impact accums a bit as well. Getting that thick cement snowfall is going to lead to compaction for sure.

Have to say have worries on this one as well for snow totals. Clear issues for Northern OH/IN with warmth at the surface & all that moisture flow starts slowly bleeding out into that coastal storm. Much more confidence in the storm off the coast than this one for the weekend living up to expectations

Was given guidance from work that once cases are below 500 a day or you are vaccinated we are to return back to the office. It appears the quality of work lately has been garbage, and at least at the corporate level, work from home is starting to be a mess. We’ve fired 3 people in our division and an entire team of 4 in Canada was terminated. It’s became evident some people are not pulling close to 40, or struggling to do any projects. Has anyone else ran into these issues with their company for the WFH folks?

There's a chance today. I'm hopeful, but CIN seems to be a contributing factor to holding it down. Still, solid moisture, ample wind shear & decent amount of energy are there.

Yuck

Wow is Omaha getting buried. Awesome storm for them

I continue to enjoy tracking Great Lakes weather but have to admit, 76 and sunny in January is certainly enjoyable.

76 currently here in Summerville with a nice breeze! Love it

I started hammering this underperforming hard yesterday as we moved into the short range. I also have acknowledged that I didn't expect the precipitation to drop off that much. Again everyone seemed super bullish on what is a 1000 mb low fading as it passes through the region. That doesn't instill confidence at all.

This is the problem with most of this thread. It’s been obvious for days that this thing was going to shear apart as it traveled east & with each day the models continued to show a weaker storm once the low pressure center moved into the Ohio Valley. Combine that with mixing issues as the column saturates & questions over the amount of ice aloft always led me to doubt snowfall totals that were shown on the models. This was always going to be a 4-8” storm in the main swath for IL/IN/MI. I am a little let down at how bad this has trended for the Toledo area, 2-4” is disappointing to say the least. KS/MO/IA look to be in for a heck of a Plains event though

1-2” for Toledo seems real low

Man local Toledo mets have completely thrown the towel in on this

Loving this forecast for next week. Definitely have a shot at 80 on Tuesday, love it for January
