Kitchen Sink Storm Feb 2-4, 2022

[young pup]

My cousin in Columbia Missouri says 5 to 6 on the ground with blowing and drifting. Expecting another 3 to 5 tonight.

Speaking of work, I'm trying to decide whether or not to go in tomorrow. My intent was to go in and maybe work a half-day then head home. Thoughts on timing? My commute is short but I do not want to drive on ice if I don't have to.

I agree with Tim.

12Z CMC has heavy snow NW counties... sleet storm I-71 Corridor and ice storm SE counties. Seems to fit the theme of the forecast very well.

Okay, Les, my apologies, but I am severely directionally challenged. Many times you use terms like NW counties, 1-71 Corridor, metro, etc, but I’m not sure where I fit into that. Will you please tell me where Middletown (NW corner of Warren county) fits into that terminology?

Thanks so much!

Oh no... here he comes...

Oh brother

Nothing like Cantore driving through flurries to get the world excited. SMH

You're NW of I-71, N Cincy burbs area, etc.

NWS INDY says the arctic boundary has reached their office on the SW side of town:

I will third this lol

Going to be a fun evening and lets hope the models continue the good news. I was supposed to paint the dining room on Thursday but I told the boss I need a snow day on Thursday but will be back at work on Friday.

[kywthrluvr]

Ugh thanks all. I was afraid that was the answer. I’m trying to be judicious with my vacation usage and was hoping roads might still be OK at lunchtime.

[Trevor]

Graphic from the Dallas WFO comparing last Feb to this Feb. Last year was probably a once in a lifetime storm for them, including the power grid failure. Still rough for them but nothing like that.

So I’m in the heavy snow zone, then?

You'll get 4" of snow or so probably. Sleet and frz rain too. It'll be a mess!

[Trevor]

Last three runs of the SREF. Noticeable shift southeast.

Edit: they uploaded in the wrong order; oldest run is last, newest is first.

[Trevor]

Mean for CVG is up to 2.57", max weenie member is up to 12.78"

[tron777]

15Z SREF plumes are coming up for snow showing the southward trend we've been seeing in the guidance all day. Means...

CVG - 2.6"
HAO - 3.4"
MGY - 4"
DAY - 5.6"
CMH - 3.5"

Great news here!

[tron777]

We got a NAM'ing coming on around 3, wouldn't you say?

[mikeyp]

18Z HRRR Looks pretty sweet id say!

[Sawdoggie]

Mean for CVG is up to 2.57", max weenie member is up to 12.78"

That was the same weenie member that called for the Bengals to be in the Superbowl at the beginning of the season, right?!

[Snowman]

All models for sure today have shifted southeast with the snow and colder thermals. All seem to be coming in line with GFS which has been amazingly steady each run. With such a complex system it is the only one that has not waffled.

Wow... major SE shift from the 12Z run. This is going to be a good run!

Indeed. I'll have the comparison graphics up shortly.

[Trevor]

Snow still coming down by 5am Friday.

[tron777]

12Z HRRR Only had me getting 2-3" of snow. 18Z run is 4-5". I'll take it!

[tron777]

4-5" for NKY, 6" N of river and 8-10" I-70 Crew per 18Z HRRR - that is snowfall only.
