Wow wasn’t expecting the 5-7” isolated 8” wordage. I mean some spots that were under that band earlier in the day sure but man what a surprise that would be.

Looks like there’s two tiers. I think Dayton is the 3-6”er and parts of i70 towards Columbus is the 5-7”

Surpassed 7”. Snow has changed to a finer snow, likely due to temperature drops (27F now). Expecting some compaction soon. Heavy band to my south but still getting in on the action.

Update from ILN.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 6:00PM, moderate to heavy snow is being observed across the
Ohio Valley. Areas along and north of I-70 have already received at
least a few inches of snow from earlier snow bands (per reports),
while areas south of I-70 are now having snow saturate the
originally dry column. Snow has started to accumulate on area
roadways fairly efficiently and should continue to stick as
temperatures drop further below freezing while snow rates remain
heavy especially considering local climatology. An upgrade to a
Winter Storm Warning has been made for areas along and around I-70
to account for the anomalously heavy snow rates being observed, high
forecast totals, and growing travel impacts. Locations that remain
under a Winter Weather Advisory will still see a period of moderate
to heavy snow and travel impacts, but are expected to see lower snow
totals than where the warning is now in place. Winter weather
headlines will be fairly short-lived this evening as all the snow
moves east by midnight. Please use caution if traveling this evening
and be prepared for snow covered roads and low visibility.

The moderate to heavy snow rates this evening are being driven by
strong frontogenetic forcing through the DGZ that also overlaps with
deep saturation through the troposphere. All this is occurring on
the north side of a low that is quickly passing to the south. These
conditions are quiet anomalous for the region especially considering
the perfect overlap of strong frontogenetic forcing and the DGZ. Snow
will quickly taper off later this evening as the low moves further
east ending snow for locations by 10pm-12am. Please note, travel
impacts will likely linger into the late overnight since cold
temperatures will not allow for melting without road treatment.

Rates are definitely the hidden gem with this one. Took me by surprise after the first measure or 2 and thought that can't be right. Took the dogs out for a bit and you'd hardly tell the difference if it was snowing and 15 out by the fluff of the snow. Sunday will have its way with it, but until then, keep it coming

I also think the storm slowed down a bit as exit times seem pushed back a hair
