Chicago WX Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 that gradient was so incredibly tight that you had something like 10" on the far west side of franklin county (Columbus) and an icestorm/slop on the east side. Columbus airport is on the east side so I bet the 'official' snowfall for that is less than 5" (guessing) 6.6" with 1.95" total precipitation.

buckeye Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think Columbus had quite a bit of mixing. Heaviest snow was around my area in Ohio. you guys should be in the snow right now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 What happened Dec 22-23, 2004? The low was just too close, and the snow changed to a huge ice storm. I remember spending that Christmas without power. Meanwhile, 50 miles northwest, there was 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, 50 miles northwest, there was 20". That was when I lived there (westerville/worthington area)... what a disaster of a event that was with the ice I remember I had no power for a couple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 time sensitive post, but there is a really nice fetch coming off of lake Michigan directed right towards central OH. This is the classic type of lake effect situation...rare...that can give a quick inch or two to areas locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is funny because I am 20 minutes from Lake Michigan and you will probably get more lake effect than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 That is funny because I am 20 minutes from Lake Michigan and you will probably get more lake effect than me. its definitely not a common occurance, and not even certain this will deliver, but if we're going to get a decent lake effect shot....this is how it happens, (usually a sustained fetch off lake Michigan). Tends to be very localized as well. I remember about 5 or 6 years ago, about a week before xmas, similar set up, a marrow band set up and we had about an hour of heavy snow and wind. It gave my town about 2-3" of snow, but if I drove a mile south they had almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Buckeye - I used to live in Hilliard so I remember those lake effect bands that would occasionally pass through. I guess I never though that they may miss areas in Michigan near the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I never though that they may miss areas in Michigan near the lake. we need the perfect wind direction, right out of the n/nw and even then it's hit or miss. Earlier this afternoon most of it was too my sw. You guys probably hit money with w/nw winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Port Columbus: 0.3" through 5pm on 0.02" of precip. An obvious error because their hourly obs show a lot more than that. And meanwhile, Cincinnati reported 0.01" precip with 0.9" of snow with Dayton had 0.04" of precip for 1.4" of snow, so pretty high ratio rates too.

wxdudemike Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well guys..if forecasted temps of 42 Sunday come true..snow will be.gone before Christmas...unless the snow pack holds them down.. I just cut down temps a bit in my latest examiner article because of the snowpack, but I still have 40 on Sunday. Not sure the snow will hold down temps enough to keep it from melting :/ I'm a little worried we could have a classic Ohio screw zone for snow on Wednesday with the primary transfer ala the 22/0z GFS. Granted, I'll always take six inches of snow But it has potential for so much more if it doesn't transfer too early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
