That is nuts. I'm eyeballing 3" of wet snow here to the NE (Westerville).

I-70 must lie between those two observations, huh?

[BuckeyeGal]

Oh, mylanta. I hear the pings on my window of sleet. Nightmare-inducing. That freaking storm that was supposed to give us 8"-12" and gave us 2" of sleet. AHHHHHH. 😱

Dang. Where’s our Toledo posters? Lol.

I'm here at least lol. Nothing really happening here at the moment though. Things should pickup around 9am.

Was just going to say I’m hearing the pings on our sky lights! That storm….

Just eyeballing and it looks like we already have an inch down here about 25 miles NW of Detroit. I feel like that is a lot more than I should have had at this point already.

Good thing payday is Friday!

Anyone have a feel of what short-rangers preformed the best for the front-end snow?

Short range models did well with this at the last minute. Dusting south of Columbus with rain and sleet. Should be melted by noon lol. On to the next!

Crazy gradient through Cbus. Had about 3” earlier on the north side. Obviously compacting now with the rain snow mix. Maybe a fresh topper tonight on anything that survives?

Yikes @cperry29. Sorry to hear that. 
 

I had about 3” before the melt took over just like @mafa and @BuckeyeGal

Heavy sleet on NW side. 

[BuckeyeGal]

It looks like we have storms every 2-3 days to track for the foreseeable future, too. Whee!

Hoping these systems can knock SEMI out of the severe drought that hit us after the driest summer in 30 years here.

In Pickerington just a tick south of 70, and I'm looking at about half an inch of slush.  I can still see the pavement of the driveway.  I never got too excited about this one.  Onto the next...

From ILN:

The low will move up just west of Cincinnati and Dayton today.

If that's the case, kudos to the GFS, NAM and RAP!!  (In looking at my tracker sheets, the GFS never varied from that track.

Make sure you keep those! I think it'll be cool to look back on how they did with all the storms we get. (She says hopefully, lol.)

I actually looked back at the beginning of this thread and the GFS was almost set on that track over a week back.

...glancing at my pile of weather stuff by the computer and then glancing at the Mrs... will do, digitally of course!!

Snowing nicely now, time to head out in it with the pooch before Rain Man spoils the day.

@Grace report!

 

My bad...we did have flakes. Not sure on accumulations if any but might have been along Mississippi river.  

EDIT: Certainly no accumulations for me. Mostly sleet with flakes mixed in until it changed back to rain.

We're here, just waiting for this dry slot to decide to move along 😡

Ripping snow...finally!  Reports of thunder snow south of Indy!

[MesoscaleBanding]

Still snowing, but it's a sloppy, 33° snowfall currently. Looks like ~3" fell on top of the existing snowpack.

Definitely not going to achieve the 5-6" storm totals that the late night runs started to show. 

GFS seems to have done pretty well with the track as well as the general 2-4" front-end totals it consistently showed.
