I thought to myself the same. Riskiest call of all = Ohio mega-winter. IF you wanted a recipe for a forecast disaster, that'd be it, lol.
Can Vegas even calculate the odds??
WxBell's map actually looks quite a bit like the Dec '04 event, and/or winter of 1917-18. I'd give you both credit. Also, iirc, 2-14-07 was pretty big across OH?
Just riding one or two Euro OP runs? Idk, but yesterday's storm was weakening and/or x-fering it's energy as it came towards OH. Next week's appears to be a stronger wave that's actually getting amped as it hits IN/OH. Could be vastly different outcomes for ILN's region.
Yikes! So sorry for that mega-bust. Thought those were a thing of the past tbh. Tho LES is prolly the most challenging to nail. Hopefully, we'll get something to make up that loss later. Plus, we're all getting in on this decent clipper. - Cheers
