someone needs to fix the lock... ...it doesn't seem to want to hold for very long. Oh well, it's about to lock-in again here in a few hours.

I don't know what it is about winters lately, but good ole fashioned cold and snowy Decembers are about as rare as a triple phaser anymore. Same thing with winters that end when they're suppose to rather than dragging into fricken April and May.

Yesterday when locals were calling for 1-2" today I was scratching my head wondering what model showed that...other than the nam of course. Next week is reminding me of that mid November outbreak...(I think it was '14 or '13...I'm terrible with recalling years), but I remember driving to an appointment in the evening out in the country and it was in the low teens, with low visibility from snow blowing across the road. These shots this time of year are not unheard of....but still too damn early IMHO lol. edit: Actually it was Nov. 13, 2014....just looked back on my calendar

Personal opinion , (and I'm sure not very popular here), but too early for this stuff. I know there are some exceptions but doesn't a colder and snowier November pattern usually get followed by a mild and dry December?

....more like a glance than a lock.

....another banner model season ahead

Interesting model test to see what actually evolves. In the past couple of seasons how many deepening sub 990 lows for the lakes and OV were modeled this far out only to go from thump to real time dud.

yes, definitely no wx zzzzz's around Halloween . From high of 70 on the 31st to low of 30 on the 1st. Lots of rain across the OV over the next 10 days too.

'92?

Damn.... sorry guys I didn't see the other thread started by IWXwx scary part was I even looked you can delete or whatever....

So I re-activated my wxbell subscription... have to say the new model graphics are much improved....very nice!

gotcha

assuming you don't mean cold air damming.... if so, I'm intrigued, what is the 'other' CAD?

Amazing times we live in. I've used that smiley dozens of times in the years I've posted here and just like all those other times it's never been meant literally....just a way to illustrate a smart*** remark/action, (ie hoisting a maga flag in the epicenter of the democrats campaign stop). But unfortunately you're right, people take that stuff totally different now. Lol...I never even remotely thought of that post the way you did until I read your reply. I guess I'm just not 'woke' enough...or twisted enough. In fact now that you bring it up, I'm kind of surprised it's still an available emoji.

in non-weather news....from the little sleepy town of Westerville.... I can see the building where the dem debate is being held from my upstairs windows. ....should I hoist a MAGA flag?

Yep. She graduated this past spring. Working in Columbus now. Agree...campus is very nice.

...too many jokes about his daughter has finally taken it's toll. Good to see you back pondo. Hopefully we'll have something to discuss this winter other than the latest local met scandals and deaths.

gotta admit, I'm kinda jealous of the folks in the 'wet & wild' zone. Also, what's happening in IL and IN? Are they wet & wild too? Figures we'd get donut-holed out of the fun.

meterologist confucius says: whomever gets the love early, gets the shaft later. By the way....welcome back Steve

So you taking 97-98 off the plate?

I also need to correct myself and apologize to OSUbrett2 and wxdudemike .....2 Ohio mets that do contribute here. They just tend not to be as prolific in the posting department as some of the others.

I just saw this. Noooooo! You've left us! Ugh Ohio is back to having no pro met representation on the board, ( kind of crazy when you think about it). Anyways, good luck to you and belated congrats!

top thread 6 pages on windchill... ....in the summer.

yep. Insult to injury even down here. I know a lot of hungry site maintenance contractors down here who were thinking they'd at least have their first salting event this morning and the rug was pulled out on them. It's an amazing futility stretch we are in....and I'm even more surprised what you guys in Cleveland have been dealing with.

Down here far from the lakes it was also a total failure, nothing like many of the models were showing. Not that we were supposed to get clocked, but enough to whiten the ground or at least dust the car tops seemed almost a sure thing. Could this be a result of this air mass not really being that cold, (relatively speaking)? I see it's upper 20's through most of the state. Usually when you see the best squalls and snowshowers reaching all the way down this way, it's with a significant arctic frontal passage with temps falling into the teens.
