It was further south than most with the GEM/RGEM even more so. UKMET has changed for the worse over the last couple of years..IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didnt want to lose sight of the recent "win" it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin BuckeyeGal Posted February 13 Admin Share Posted February 13 Maybe at some point instead of a seemingly certain 5"-6" piddling down to nothing within 36 hours of go time, we'll get a seemingly nothing ramping up to a seemingly certain 5"-6". Or maybe we're still paying for that gorgeous, unexpected white Christmas a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this year and last year were bad. But my daughter is turning 5 at the end of the week and I truly feel like we haven't had a good snow in her lifetime. Maybe I'm misremembering but I feel like the last 5 winters or so have been significantly lower than average. in terms of snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you're wrong-mine will be 7 in a few months, loves the snow like her dad, and we've yet to build a proper snowman. Anytime we get a few inches, its always powdery, high ratio snow. We need 4-6 inches of wet, packing snow and we can build a proper snowman together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was close to 20'' 2021 was very active for Feb, almost 1-2 storms per week throughout various portions of the FA 2020 February was also "active" but boy you start tabbing through 2023 and 2024 and it get real quiet real quick https://www.weather.gov/iln/events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobuckeye45 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) model round up for 18z - NAM - terrible QPF- mid ground track RGEM - came north middle ground track - stronger than prior runs ICON - slipped a bit futher south - decent strength GFS - slipped a little south for the 2-3 consecutive run - decent strength Still a bit concerned they're all heading towards the euro/UK Edited February 13 by Ohiobuckeye45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Thanks for that link. I know the ILN page but have never looked at the "events" page. Good info there! I took each event and added up snowfall totals for my location as best as I could by taking nearby totals and making logical estimations. My location is east of Columbus and far-West Licking County. Here are the yearly totals I got. Keep in mind this isn't seasonal, but annual. The annual average for Columbus, Ohio is 28 inches, over the last 30 years. (1991 to 2020). 2019: 21 inches 2020: 11 inches 2021: 8.5 inches 2022: 12 inches 2023: 3 inches 2024: 1.5 inches FWIW and totally not all that relevant (other than to make my original point about my daughter's birth), 3 storms in 2019 happened before she was born in February and therefore subtracts 11.5 inches from the 2019 total for a total of 10. Lol So during my 5 year old daughter's entire lifetime, she's experienced 46 inches worth of snow. That's less than 2 AVERAGE years worth. Not even "snowy" years. This definitely helps to confirm my thoughts that, at least for me, this snow drought has been long and miserable. At least now I know who to blame though.... don't ever have kids! Hahaha!

BoroBuckeye Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Glass quarter full view, IF this does happen, will be cold for a couple of days so won’t all melt instantly. I’m going on 2 years without really enough snow for sledding for the kids… I don’t count it if it basically gets compressed to grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
