vespasian70 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 another wintry week here in central ohio. Snowshowers this morning.....maybe a dusting to an inch on thurs...and then something more significant, (clipper-esque), on friday? Potential is there for us to hit 20+" for the season so far by this time next week. Even if this storm late week doens't pan out perfectly for us, we've been an island of decent winter wx in the middle of an otherwise craptastic winter for the region as a whole. Maybe the cold won't be wasted this week after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherzen Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just enjoyed watching one of my favorite types of snow showers put down a light dusting. You know the kind with the big fluffy flakes that produce the snow globe effect. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdudemike Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 12z GFS came in a bit more juicy but also slightly warmer. Looks like mostly snow with a little sleet for Columbus. 0.55" total QPF though isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thur night...Fri.. ole gymmy better hope the models start doing an about face.... The most current trend of this system is drier and more south. If this keeps up he'll be about 8" too high on his call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this keeps up he'll be about 8" too high on his call. I was watching him last night and was like what is he looking at? The snow weenie in him sometimes gets the best of him. I am not feeling very good about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Let me guess..the models have went to far south now..still a little time to come back a bit..we dont need much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Unfortunate drying trend in the models....Now hoping for 2-3 inches at best. We could get a inch tomorrow also though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna bet we get more with the little system/clipper coming through Wed-Thurs? I can see maybe an inch or two with that and then nata with the Friday mess. Cant believe we went from being too far east with that to now to far west. So strange how these models have been just awful more than 3 days out.

OHweather Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looking forward to may quarter to half an inch tomorrow. Picked up 0.1" yesterday from a good snow shower that lasted all of 10 minutes. Big adjustment down here averaging 13-14" of snow in Athens as opposed to 80-90" southeast of Cleveland.

buckeye Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 ILN throws the towel. Listening to nws forecast. "100% chance of snow friday...little or no snow accum." sounds like wording should be snowSHOWERS or flurries. 100% chance of snow gives impression of steady snow...and with temps in the low 20's that would imply at least some accum.

OHweather Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 ILN throws the towel. Listening to nws forecast. "100% chance of snow friday...little or no snow accum." sounds like wording should be snowSHOWERS or flurries. 100% chance of snow gives impression of steady snow...and with temps in the low 20's that would imply at least some accum. Friday should be a nice several hour period of light snow/snow showers...the area will see a nice shot of PVA and will be in the left-exit portion of a 130+kt upper level jet streak...and there will be a modest shot of WAA over the southern half of the state as well. Moisture will be lacking and the system will be an unphased mess but almost every model drops .1-.2" of QPF over much of the state...which with what should be high ratios is easily 1-3" of snow...maybe slightly higher if some bands of moderate snow can develop. The state will be glanced by a very nice shot of mid-level energy later this afternoon. Obviously this will be more fruitful up north downwind of the lakes but will probably be a swath of light accums (1">) across the southern third of the state. There will probably be some overrunning precip on the nose of some nice WAA Sunday night into Monday...it's too early to get into specifics and there is obviously a better shot at a quick few inches of snow across the northeastern portion of the state...but even down here it may start as snow before we torch and shoot into the 50's by next Wednesday.

OHweather Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 RLX just put Athens County under an advisory for 1-2" of snow this evening.It is flurrying already and the radar returns are rather impressive and seem to be slowly trending northeast from where they are currently running. I was initially thinking like 0.8" here out of the deal this morning but maybe I can revise that up to like 1.2" if we end up seeing several hours of solid light snow.

vespasian70 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just light snow here now with a dusting. We might squeeze 1/2" out of this. Friday's "storm" is kind of a disappointment - anyway the snow wouldn't have survive the torch next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
