We’ve had 2 significant tornado events in central Ohio already this season and yesterday there were tornado warned storms just east of us. I personally know people who suffered structural damage to their homes in each event. It’s crazy when you consider it isn’t even April. Also, ironically this April 3/4 is the 50 year anniversary of Xenia.

We live just about .5 miles inside the path of totality. I have read that the closer you are to the center the longer it lasts. I’ve also read that being right on the edge has advantages because of some unique effects can be witnessed that you don’t get in the center. What would you do? Drive further northwest towards center or stay put on the edge?

I believe 5 were confirmed in Ohio, mostly between Dayton and Columbus, including the western burbs and I believe the eastern burbs as well. We just got thunder IMBY.

I’m at OHare right now and that useless ruining stat-padding snow is underway. Heading back to cmh hoping no delays.

That was like a good ole fashioned clipper. Pretty crazy rates. I read in the other forum someone in PA got 5” in an hour. Looks like around 5 here.

Although we, (ohio), have had no real snow this winter, we still have our dignity. A 4 page thread for 2 glorified car-toppers and a week of seasonably cold weather is both proportionate and reasonable. Well done!

I remember one August day I was taking a bag of groceries out of my car and I didn't see a container of sour cream fall out and roll under my seat. I found it two weeks later....and it still aged better than this:

Was 77-78 a nino? I thought I read that it was....maybe I'm wrong.

Awesome! congratulations.... You're right, it puts everything in perspective. (unless you're Ji who said he was refreshing model runs while his wife was pushing )

So far the winner for most accurate winter season forecasting goes to the NWS and their weekly temp and precip anom maps. *honorable mention goes to Alek and his zzzzz's

What storm are you referring to?

ha, I didn't know he was still around. BTW, we've just lost the euro....gonna go south. So all we got is the GFS showing anything. So if that ends up being the solution, the canadian will be the first prize winner on handling this storm, (it never wavered from showing us getting squat).

Oh, I almost forgot….there’s also this from the Canadian 989 over central WV. Like I said before, wtf bother

I've been watching, but the bust potential in the negative is bigger than the bust potential in the positive. 1. temps.... looks like this is a nocturnal-driven frozen event. I'm not even sure the temps are ever supposed to get below freezing before, during, after. 2. The stripe of good cement is pretty narrow and will most likely be a nowcast event. 3. the recent winters and non-events have cemented my skepticism on anything to do with snow. other than that I'm fully on board!!!!

How is this even possible.....?????? edit: to clarify this is in Ohio

Detroit averages about double what CMH does. A world of difference to me would be a tughill plateau winter, not a Detroit winter. Still, isn't Detroit sitting around 17" for the season? That would be fairly typically to where CMH would be sitting in mid Feb back when winters were 'normal'....that's what I was referring to when I made the 'Detroit is the new CMH' comparison, albeit a bit tongue and cheek. My daughter and son-in-law moved up to Chesterfield, MI a couple years ago for his MU med school. They haven't seemed that impressed with the snow. It's 64 degrees today as I type this, weren't we suppose to be in the midst of a good period of winter right now? It's crazy.

whose gonna break it to Josh that Detroit is the new CMH

Yep

This is why the Ohio thread is dead. I mean seriously, why f'ing bother.

Sorry but the MA forum has already claimed that storm

This beats his infamous excuse, "I nailed it at 5h" Basically this one is, if it wasn't for the warmth, it would have been cold

I was out this evening and it was 37 and raining on January 30. I thought the same thing, this might be the worst winter I remember. Even worse than the infamous 97-98 and 2011-2012, at least those had something to remember them by....granted 2011-12 was record warmth. This winter has just been agonizingly BORING. We had one week of cold weather that resulted in a couple of car toppers and I don't think my grass was ever completely covered. It doesn't help when pretty much every met, (except for a couple of our mets in this forum), kept a weenie on a stick for us since Nov. Looks like currently the can is sitting at mid February.....anyone wanna bet it gets kicked to the beginning of March? I did not get my usual wxbell subscription this winter but I do follow JB on twitter....I follow him because the comments mocking him are hilarious and well deserved. Call it climate change, climate cycling, whatever you want but clearly we are experiencing something strange in the weather. The headscratcher is that although the winters have been so warm and boring, we haven't had the same kind warmth increase in the summer. Extremes on the warm side for summer are as rare as extremes on the cold side for winter. It's like we've become a maritime climate. buzzed rant over

Yep, just got a hot tip from my broker, Bastardi says BUY BUY BUY!
