buckeye Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 so before I head out for awhile.... this is how it looks to unfold for the I-70 crowd, assuming sr models are handling it well. snow starts falling an hour either side of noon. Light snow for a few hours.... then potentially a lull as the shield drops south for a couple hours...then snow backs in again from the southeast as the low tries to make a turn north before heading east. As far as amounts.... 2-3" right along the corridor. I think biggest surprise could end up somewhere CMH on east if the low makes it further north than thought. OHweather should do really well down in OU country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDoppler4TnySandz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Checking in from Cincy-- started about 4 hours earlier than model suggested this far north; KY is going to get hammered and like some others have mentioned, they do not have the equipment to deal with it. Snow intensity here continues to pick up but still only moderate snow at this time---very cold, car temp gauge for outside got as low as 6 on the way in this morning. Finally can exhale after being donut holed since November. Not clear on the official season total here, maybe 4" in early November....then another 2" scattered through the course of the last 2.5 months.

OHweather should do really well down in OU country. Yeah, it's already snowing here which is a good 2-3 hours earlier than I expected. Granted its pixie dust for now, but looking at radar and amounts upstream and the short term models we should get into better mid level forcing resulting in a few hours of moderate snow with high ratios. I went 4-7" here and hedged north a little, and my write up went on our meteorology lab's Facebook page (no pressure!)...the north models are definitely working out. Expecting the high end of my forecast at this point if not a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We have four inches of snow on the ground so far. I've never never seen snow fall this hard with temps hovering in the teens. This is awesome. Side streets are completely covered and main roads are in bad shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We've gotten .2" here with temps sitting at 5, roads are covered, they don't have anything other than salt to keep roads from getting covered when it's this cold. It'll be a mess later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just snuck in there though, with the razor thin cut-off just to the north of there. ind.png Yep, barely a dusting at my home 4 miles ne of the Indpls city limits in Fortville. Mainly grass showing.

buckeye Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 was surprised that there was very little virga with this storm considering how cold it was. Once you got into 10 dbz on radar, it was snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's been snowing decently since 10AM with visibility between half and one mile here. Roads are a mess. Flake size has struggled much of the storm and only have 1.5" give or take. If we get into the better bands just to our south I'm sure flake size would increase and we'd accumulate quicker, but we may just get grazed by that.

If we can keep this puppy going thru 10pm we might hit an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 looks like some dry air is fighting pretty hard on the northern side eroding some of the snow shield.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
