That’s a lot more nickels than dimes lol. I think Columbus’s most snowy December was in 2000 or 2001 and not one 24 hour period greater than an inch …. Or something crazy like that. Deep winter here. Never lost any of our 12” snow, (to melting), since that storm back on the 25th. A couple of little refreshers thrown in there. But just as I get ready to head to Hawaii this week it looks like the thaw is in site! Would love to come home to bare ground and the beginning of a torch but probably coming back to ugly piles, patchy mud and grass and days on end of clouds and upper 30’s. Yay

meh, it was a fun ride for a few weeks, we have one more accumulater/stat padder here in Ohio on Friday and then I hope we put a nail in the coffin for this winter. Ready for some severe and abnormally warm temps!

yup, ugliest part of winter is right after an extended snow cover melts off and you're left with gray parking lot piles of snow, mud, and everything just looks dirty and salt-stained.

Meh, I’m 60 and looking at that table there were 6 times in my lifetime that we’ve had more snow up to this point. To me. I consider once in a lifetime something that happens once every 50 years or more. Blizzard of ‘78 being a perfect example of a once in a lifetime storm.

I woke up around 5:00am and it was -10. I’m sure there had to be some areas in southeast Ohio in the ‘hollows” that were -20. Or less. This cold wave is brutal…and downright incredible for the southern states. I can’t imagine the amount of broken and frozen pipes and misery going on not to mention the insane electric bills some of these people are going to be facing next month. The crazy thing is there is no end in sight. That first 40 degree day is going to feel like short sleeve weather!

yup, and every cold shot now is the polar vortex.

here's my snow dog pics. Folks left for Hawaii a day before the storm hit. We are watching their little dogs. Needless to say they are not fans of cold and snow, especially when the snow is as tall as they are.... dug a pee/poop pit for them off the side porch. Works out nice since I don't have to put them on a leash and they can't go anywhere, plus they don't want to be out more than a few minutes with the cold.

This is the one I was thinking of, I guess Dayton was in 12-28" I know years ago I saw a map for this storm that had some 30" + lollipops in that 2'+ area

hmmm, I could have sworn that the Dec 04 storm blasted them with more than that. I know there were some locations in se IN and along the OH/IN border that got like 30"

I think they do have a favorable set up for this coming weekend....at least a shot unless it goes OTS. After that a clipper pattern sets up for the sub, with several, (seen as many as four forecasted on some models). Then the trough retros further west and the sub might be open to something bigger?

I’m cool with big snows…. But not cool with dry tundra weather with no end in sight, can always hope to reel in this weekends upcoming HECS…. That’s going to be a monster for those guys

Totally depressing to see no end in sight to this tundra

Yup it should be in a 24 hour period or as a single event. March 08 was around 22” in 24 hours and PD03 was a biggie also around 15” but it came in 2 parts with about a 12 hour lull in the middle. surprised at that 11.6 yesterday. Definitely about 14-15 my

I shoveled twice since 6am. Each time there was 6” of snow….easiest snow I’ve ever shoveled. It was about as light as fake snow.

Hrrr says 3-4 more, probably too bullish but definitely a couple more looks good. End up with 14-15”… nice!
