What does that mean- more chance of sleet for Metro?

No, snow.

That does not happen often around here unless we get a nice rain storm in the spring. We saw the energy off the west coast as the storm came ashore so getting some lightning and thunder is possible and yes the severe side in the south has increased as well. Energy,energy, energy is always key

Yep. I wasn't seeing it (the thunder snow risk) at the time, but I think Alex was mentioning it the other day. I thought at that time, it would be a very low chance. Thinking a moderate chance now that we could see that late this afternoon and evening. We will see 1-2" per hour from SW to NE across the area (Cincy Land) after 12pm or so today, give or take.

Lots of dry air winning out right now but I agree 12-2pm should start seeing widespread snowfall. Gonna be some serious snowfall this evening. I think everyone will see good accumulations from this with sweet spot being Butler county and south. N of I70. the cutoff is crazy maybe 2-3" from backside

These heavier bands can add up quickly and that is why its hard to pinpoint exact totals for a location. You may be getting 2 inches an hour for a few hours but 20 miles down the road that same band is only giving you 1/2 inch an hour. That is we try and have a range that seems most likely but with most systems some folks lower and some higher and again with rainfall if someone got 1.2 inches of rain and the folks 20 miles away got .90 nobody thinks twice about it but snow with folks get worked up easy

I just looked at their city cameras- wow. Hoping we get some fat flakes this afternoon!!

Still fine flakes but steady.
