1/6/22 - Possible First Snow of the Season for Some

[winterstormjoe]

Got a maybe a little over a quarter of an inch. Just enough for the Columbus drivers to lose their minds.

Hey JP, I ended up measuring 1/8th of an inch enough to make the ugly gray sidewalks white, I estimated that it was falling at a rate of 1/16th of an inch an hour. At that rate if it would have fallen for 12 hours I would have close to 2/3rds of an inch of snow. Sheesh lol

Same here - and there was almost zero snow! BG had a chart in one of his snowtalk videos about the accident rates compared to snowfall amounts for Louisville and prob not surprisingly the highest accident rates were where snowfall was lightest. Likely a combination of people staying home when you get buried in snow to people being overconfident the roads aren't slippery when you only have a dusting or inch.

I couldn't agree more. I think the same can be said for Cincy, Dayton, and Columbus.

I guess we got a little more than quarter of an inch here looking at a summary Les shared on FB. Didn't seem like it, but I was focused on treating properties and not measuring. LOL

I third agree more. It was nuts, I just ended up staying off the freeway and sticking to the side streets to get where I needed to go.
