Yeah, if we can get to work we should be able to get home!

Of course I have to drive in the thick of it in the morning. Hospitals never close/delay 😥

Safe travels!

I do not go in to the office til later in the morning.  I may drive my wife if it is bad enough but for that, it will need to be thumping...

The 21z RAP shifted a band south through the fringes.

Makes 2 of us.

After obsessively watching the RAP and HRRR all day it’s clearly HRRR vs RAP here lol. I’m team HRRR obviously.. the RAP will throw a bone my way like on 19z but then just as quickly take it away like in 20z..

[MesoscaleBanding]

Proceed with extreme caution...

I have to question this a bit as during that heavy precip it showed a lot of sleet mixing in but maybe it was more snow than sleet… just adding another element to an already difficult forecast.

[easton229]

Both the RAP and the HRRR paint about 7-7.5 inches here. Have to wonder if DTX will upgrade a couple counties to WSW by tomorrow.

Yeah man, the cutoff somewhere in Columbus is going to be brutal.  Sending good vibes your way for it to stay south of the 270 loop.  

It’s never easy for Columbus 🤡

Models being posted smack-dab consistently all day today paint my region between 7-12” but NWS has me at 3-6”.  I have to imagine surface temps and sleet are keeping things down on the NWS estimate.  Most models have a “Total Snowfall (Depth Chg)” total that seems to be more in line with NWS estimates.

HRRR has been fairly steady for cbus. Last 5 runs or more showing a heavier band coming through between 4-6am

[Chambana]

Feel like the heaviest snow is starting to shift south of my area, and all current models are hinting that as well.

when it comes to that I think areas that have this system hit overnight and tomorrow evening will be the winners

It would not be a winter storm in Columbus without s***t 🙄

Ok ok fine lol

[MesoscaleBanding]

Solid base of surviving snowpack to build on...

[FortySixAnd32]

Not much left!!!

[Cheezemm2]

If it sleets in Columbus >1 hour, I'll eat a tablespoon of it to consume my enemy.

 

[RobB]

Backyard has 1 to 2 inches snow left except where sun / white fence meet. Front yard has some snow free places as it faces western sun with no trees.

Wow! 11 to 12 inches here. I hope you get some good snows!

Radar/OBS

[Jeffro]

Not much snow on the ground here. Maybe an inch of hard crusty cement where shaded from the sun. Mostly barren. 
 

I’ll have the webcam up by 9am, for those interested in tracking the rain/snow line.
