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!

Back from a walk. 12”. With possibly couple more,

most places around CMH should have 11-12" OTG at noon....then models show about another 6 hours of snow after that.. Pretty impressive, won't beat #1 2008, but definitely could come in as #2 largest snowfall in CMH history since that would require greater than 15".

Just took our dog out to pee. Measured exactly 6” on the driveway

Not even trying to plow

Gett’n buried radar looks juiced

I’ll just say better than 50/50 we hit 12”

3:30 am. Woke up looked out …holy sh*t. Now looking at radar, no way I can fall back asleep

Flurries started here (cmh area)

Stopped by a dispensary yesterday. when it comes to an impending snowstorm, dispensaries tell the supermarkets to hold my beer.

This is one of the most widespread snowstorms for the forum I remember. Warnings from just south of Chicago to Paducah across all IN,OH into southern MI. And it’s all snow. Sure there’s an axis of heaviest but kinda cool we all score some before the arctic hammer slams down and settles in.

By the way, I'd like to nominate Alek as official forum-wide storm thread initiator.

If you use a regular 10:1 snow total, you shave off about 4" everywhere. Question is which is a better predictor, kuchera or 10:1 ?

nice

eh, gotta feel for them a little. Nothing worse than tracking a big dog only to have the rug pulled. At the same time though, if I lived there I would always be concerned of the mixing and warm air....it literally comes with every threat they get, so they shouldn't of been too shocked once models started showing it a couple of days ago. That trend always gets worse and never reverses once it shows up.

pretty sure start time wasn't till late evening

Yeah, exactly. I’ll be checking surface obs compared to radar west of us.

I think we can rule out any worry about that. Even the nam barely gets sleet north of the Ohio river. And this set up is a little bit of a different animal than we’re used to. usually on these things at this time out, we’re nervously watching the models pull the sleet line up to i70.

I remember we had back to back big snows during that period. Didn’t realize it was that much.

Yea I was trying to think of our last 10”+ snowstorm. 18 years, sheesh

Looks like last minute trends are slightly nudging the heavy axis a little more north. Seeing more outputs of 12” for cmh. Looking like our first legit big dog since?

so how's the ohio crowd feeling now that models have all held together for a widespread 8-12 incher across Central Ohio, 36 hours out? What if any changes do you think might happen between now and during the storm? For me, I have zero worries of mixing and actually wouldn't mind a little bit stronger push north. Biggest concern is the dry air pushing more than the models are forecasting and losing some inches with the initial overrunning because of that. I think what will be telling is how much of a virga storm we get Saturday afternoon/evening. I can see a scenario waking up early Sunday morning with pixie dust and a wispy dusting on the ground and everyone freaking out that it's a bust....even though the main slug comes in Sunday morning into evening with the low. If we can score big on the initial overrunning than it's definitely game on for 12". No matter what happens it's pretty much a sure bet we break that 6" seal...finally...and we actually get to keep it for awhile instead of the usual 2 days.

say what you want, but he remains the consummate professional
