Really.  It's beautiful out there with the snow covered branches.

tropical downpours certainly put a damper on the mood around here 😐

That's the only thing I like about wet snow...The beauty of it sticking to trees and such!

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.

For whatever reason my local airport gives inaccurate reports. It's snowing hard right now. but they report "light snow." This with 1/2 mi. visibility. Yet no fog. Is that not the textbook definition of moderate snow? So according to them, it's snowed at the same rate all morning. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

They also report only a few hundredths of an inch total precip yet we have easily 2 inches on the ground. And they are to my south by a few miles. It's surely snowed a little harder down there, if anything. Is this somehow automated - or do I need to apply for a position over there so the county can have accurate weather reporting?

I'm agreeing with the "beauty of it sticking to trees". 

 I like snow wet, med and dry. 😆

interesting potential for actual accumulation from squalls tomorrow

Should we bump up the date on the other thread to include the 26th?

The best snowfall, pasted on everything besides the roads, so I can take a luxurious cruise and take in the scenery.

this passed weekend's snow was probably the perfect snow....it was the "dryest wettest" snow I can remember.....the anticipation of what that event was going to be is actually what transpired today. Similar on paper (models), completely different at the surface

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!

Much heavier returns are starting to move into the Detroit area with DTX calling for an additional 2-4” by 3pm so we should see 1”/Hr rates. Looks to be the heart of the event coming up for us here in MI.

Great way to describe it!!!

Lightning tracker app has multiple strikes on the OH/IN border just east of Fort Wayne.

On it like white on rice.

[Jpfalcon]

It is puking snow right now at work. Easily 1/4 to 1/2 mile viz. Big fat flakes. Mighty impressive.

[NWOhioChaser]

Thundersnow reported between Ft. Wayne and Van Wert. Meanwhile, still coming down at very good clip. Probably approaching 3” at this point. Pasty sticking to everything. Roads are starting to deteriorate. Thinking most of the accumulation happens between now and 3pm.

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

I could still end up with more from tomorrow's squalls than from today's "main event..."

It’s like someone flipped a switch here and we went from moderate snow, to HEAVY snow. Visibility dropped in such a short time. Video doesn’t do much justice to how hard it’s falling right now.

[Snowbelted]

2 inches of snow this AM and now light rain.

[Hassaywx1223]

Snowed 2 inches now it’s raining roads will be fine by 2-4 pm here. I shoveled my drive and didn’t even need salt over hyped event by many meteorologists in northeast Ohio IMO

[Shiver Me Timbers]

Looks like another bust for central Indiana. We've only got about 2 inches; the rate is declining, and the back end is rapidly approaching. This just two hours after SPC warned of several hours of heavy snow 

Every model had 5"+ for my county

Over-hyped or under-performed? Every model depicted something more than -- this... There are still grassy areas exposed on the downwind side of buildings. We were supposed to get a half foot according to the models. Instead, 2". This from a storm that took an almost perfect path for us. Oh well. It's pretty.

Oh no. 😞

[easton229]

Went to do a quick shovel and this is some of the heaviest snow I’ve shoveled. Like it was stated before, I’m sure there’s gonna be a lot of compaction on what falls.
