Snow Day. Seriously went to bed thinking a delay if we were lucky. Surprised twice in less than a week with winter weather. Awesome, lol.

If we get three inches I will be shocked now honestly unless this upper low  just goes crazy in the next couple of hours

You've got the timing all wrong. If your expecting that in the next couple hours, then Anticipate disappointment

Deep breaths in central Indiana, this front end WAA snow was always expected to be more of an ohio thing out ahead of the low. If you were receiving thaat...you wouldn't be receiving the ULL snows later on. That's the main show...focus on that. Temps now mean nothing when your your NW of the track, upper air takes care of that

Good point! Thanks!

I guess 🙄😆

What's wrong either me. Rain here's at 33.6 degrees. Not upset as no shoveling needed. Enjoy your snows, those that are getting it. 

[Ohiobuckeye45]

2" down with temps now at 32.5, heavy band about to move in

[Ohiobuckeye45]

Thinking there could be a bit of rain mixing in the current returns, hoping the heavier returns cool it back down

[RobB]

We probably had a half inch of snow before switch over. Early closing of schools probably won't happen again . lol 😁 

[Ohiobuckeye45]

10z rap additional snow

It's opposite office this past Sunday. That snow really surprised me. Overperform then, under today. All about the Temps. 

[Chambana]

Moderate snow here in Champaign temp is 33. Heavier band just off to my SW. I burned a personal day just to enjoy the snow, sip coffee and read a book. 

[Ohiobuckeye45]

Looks like the low is going to take the NW envelope track per the last few short range runs

I got a snow day….but for wrong reasons, lol.

(Got some bronchial thing, spiked a fever last night…sigh….hot tea, Mucinex and cold meds for the win today! 🤒

[Ohiobuckeye45]

Back to all snow in the heavier band, I presume that's how it will be the next few hours. Outside the heavy bands your going to mix

[Ohiobuckeye45]

Honestly for me everything falling now is just insurance to try and preserve snow over the next 12 hours or so. Temps for the day aren't a crusher but rain will eat a snowpack quicker than anything. Hoping that crusty 3" underneath can act as a base 🤣

Get to tonight with 4" preserved would be a win

All these years, you and I have always been opposites when it comes to old snow cover. Unless it is powder, I want to wash away the old in preparation for the new 😊

Already a quick whitening of the ground here. Latest HRRR still shows 7-9” here.

Interesting. When I left beavercreek it was a couple inches but less than a few miles south was white rain. Won’t be able to measure as I’m at work and by the time I get home it’ll be compacted and melting.

Made it to work. Roads are not terrible here. They are slushy but very passable if you take your time.

I like having the white canvas for at least a few days after. Once I start seeing grass I'm with you though. I also like keeping grass covered for when the next snow falls its truly that amount. With no snow...the grass always robs the first 1-2" 😅

I absolutely get that! 👍😎

It’s coming down pretty good here, now. 
Id guess roads are fine, and will be for a short while.
33 deg
 

It’s a gorgeous snow!

Measured 4 inches on the patio table here in Johnstown. Very pleasantly surprised. Another late model fail.

[FortySixAnd32]

Very shocked to measure 3.5 inches in Newark. It was compacting fast when I went to brush my car off. Roads were passable, but not great. School is canceled and I'm sure there will be quite a few deformed snowmen by this afternoon! Enjoy it folks.....
