A super nino winter can also hold surprises and extreme events even though the overall backdrop is above normal temps. I think Cincy had it's greatest 24 hr snowfall in Feb of '98. Weird cut off low dropping snow to the south and rain to the north. It probably won't be completely boring and I'm sure there will be some fantasy storms to track.

stand corrected ...I wouldn't hate that though.

yea. Can't wait for our 97-98 redux winter. 40's and rain

really getting tired of "trough east". Hoping for a good ole fashioned heat dome to set in.

Not sure why, but this sure hasn't felt like a historically warm month here in Ohio. It seems like the cooler than normal days have stood out more than the warmer than normal days. Maybe it's just my old a** getting less and less cold tolerant

Looks like we wrap up 2025-2026 with official CMH snowfall 33.9. Not bad, first above normal in awhile...and maybe for awhile longer if all these super nino predictions come to fruition. Back to the miserable winters of the late 90's.

this past Sunday night I witnessed the biggest hail in my life. Literally thought our windows were going to break. I think 1.5" was what they recorded. Hail? No thanks although I know it's very likely in this set up. off topic but the last three months has featured some pretty crazy weather for us starting with that big dog in late January, a widespread windstorm a few weeks back, the hottest day ever recorded in March a week ago, the hail storm last week, greatest temp drop in like 8 hours, (or something like that)... definitely hasn't been boring.

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
