January 24-25, 2023 | Plains/MW/GL/OV Winter Storm

One thing I've noticed is in the lighter bands, there is some melting occurring on vehicles and even the trees. May wind up with several inches falling but only 3-5" of actual final accumulation.

I was going to say the same thing. With marginal temps(actually went up here half a degree in the last hour) and this being a very wet snow that MBY undergoing some melting during the lulls. And there does seem to be a lot of lulls with these morning bands. Really intense snow for 10-15 mins, and a lull for ten. Not consistent. Going to be a lot of compacting I’m afraid. I think 3-5” is a good call unless something changes. highest totals in NW Ohio will be the extreme portion(more towards the border)

Good news is the radar is showing some hefty returns entering from the south. Things should start to pick up again for a little bit.

Heard from sis in law in cotter, ar ( around ozarks). They received about 7 inches. Haven’t heard about Fayetteville area. Here in Hot Springs Village just a nuisance sleet with a 1/2 inch snow topper

It is back to ripping again. I'm in Point Place and it's coming down really hard.

FYI, low is right where the RAP and NAM "progged" it to be on the 1-24 12Z/15Z run. NAM nailed the strength exactly and RAP was about 2 mb too low.

Great first post!!  Welcome to the Sphere!

SWS out for Lucas, Wood, and Hancock counties for the squall entering Toledo metro, quarter mile visibilities and 1"/hr rates. Main event is arriving.

[Mindlessheep]

Snowing pretty heavy in Genoa (10 miles SE of Toledo) I will also admit, that unlike 99% of this forum, I hate snow.

DTX Update to their accumulations graphic, painting 6-8" much farther north and inland than yesterday. 

Huge flakes have been falling most of the morning near my house, with about 1.5 inches down currently. Warning began at 10am, and is expected to go until midnight.

Can confirm in Fulton. Bigger flakes out there again. 

[Ohiobuckeye45]

interesting potential for actual accumulation from squalls tomorrow

 

[mafa]

The point and click is taking that into account. Says 1-2inches possible for Westerville yet less than an inch near the airport.

Some light rain now, 32°. 🤮   Final snow tally is 2.6".

I love that both Columbus, IN and Columbus, OH are in the rain...not really.  Did the sleet last more than an hour in Cbus, OH, I've been in work calls all morning and need to know if I need to go outside and eat sleet.  

Congrats to our Indiana/MI folks, you certainly deserved one!

[Cary67]

Biggest snow of the year finally covering grass tips. Maybe 2-3" for totals although parts of southern LOT 3-5". See Indy and DTW looking good. Sorry for Columbus and pts south like Cincy.
