White Christmas Blizzard 2022

[tron777]

30 / 27 snowing like crazy, winds also picking up as others are reporting.

I've been driving north all day, so I haven't been able to post or check in much. I'm on 75 in Chattanooga,and I'm trying to figure out if I can get through the mountains and across the Kentucky line before the change over happens. Any updated thoughts on when the freezing line might cross down here?

It's moving in fast. 32 IMBY now.

Thanks, Les. Looks like I probably shouldn't risk it. Think I'll stop in Knoxville

I agree Jacob. It's not worth the risk.

Thank you Pete! I have numerous ones for ya. Lived here since Oct of 1980 was 4 years old. I remember the following wintry events:

Dec 1983 - Coldest Christmas Ever. This one will come close!
January 1985 cold wave - was in the 3rd grade and hardly went to school that month
Late March and Early April 1987 cut off low snows back to back
October 1989 - Earliest accum snow on record when 5-6" fell
December 1989 record cold and snow event -20s and 7" at CVG
Oct Pre Halloween storm 1993 - 6" fell here. I was in Bowling Green, KY in Marching Band and performed at the state level with pingers, frz rain and snow. Most were bitching I absolutely loved it! The pingers made our snare drums sound better. Was all snow up here.
January 1994 record snow and ice / cold wave -25!! Below zero highs! State of KY closed for a week! I was a senior in high school and loved every minute of it.
January 1996 - The big bust we just spoke of
Feb 1998 the big cut off low snow of 18" WOW!
March of 2008 blizz
January 2009 multiday snow and ice event
Dec of 2010 snowiest on record for CVG
Feb of 2010 - Super Clipper pattern - snowiest on record at CVG
Winter of 13-14 - 2nd snowiest on record at CVG
Feb of 2015 had a decent one.

Now this... Dec of 2022! I am probably missing something in there but you get the point. I love SNOW!!!!

I love this, Les! I was about to graduate HS in May 1994, and my mom was pregnant with my brother (yes, we are 17 years apart!). In 1996 she was pregnant with my sister. In 1998 I was pregnant with my oldest son, who was born in early March…we both remember those winters that we were pregnant being wild!

I also remember a Christmas storm in 2004 that was wicked - I was living in Maineville and we lost power for a few days and had way more snow than was forecast (although that was pre-forum days for me at least!)…I remember that one because my youngest son was only a month old. I was camped out by the fireplace with my 3 young boys as my husband (at the time) was a firefighter and was on duty for days on end.

I found this awesome forum back in the Rich A days and have been so grateful for you all for years now. I don’t post much because I’m not a scientist and I don’t “get” all of it…but I’ve learned so much in the last 15 years or so.

Thank you all for EVERYTHING you do! I love lurking here and try to inform all of my friends as well.

Keep it going guys- I’m headed to bed- 4am wake up will be here soon! I guess I’ll get the early bird report!

Our low is now at 1000 MB over Detroit. 1004 MB Low over Eastern Virginia. We talked about the slower phasing of this system to get that further SE track that we needed. Oh 33 / 30 and snowing. It's almost Christmas! This is the best Christmas ever IMO for a snow weenie like me. It don't get any better for our area!

Did the Arkansas low get absorbed by the Indiana low?

[cincy bud]

25 degrees WC of 12 degrees. So loud outside

[cincy bud]

22 degrees and 9 WC

Changeover to snow and dropping temps in Lebanon.

Glad you found us again, Gail! Oh speaking of May I forgot... May 1989 we had accumulating snow around my Birthday 5/5 I'll never forget that! 28 degrees snowing like crazy... oh man!!!

Rain with snow starting to mix in Anderson. Winds picking up and Temps crashing!

Did the Arkansas low get absorbed by the Indiana low?

The AR low never really had a chance to develop although it tried.

The back patio is turning to ice as the snow falls

[tron777]

27 now, heavy snow as the death band moves in... accum on grass and car tops. Not on pavement yet.

[Sargent51]

Snow in Maineville/Morrow

[Angelika]

30° and moderate snow. It's coming down sideways at times and it's already blowing around.

Never got going but that area earlier today helped in slowing down the trough. Just so many tiny pieces to the puzzle

[tron777]

Death band incoming... 700 MB Frontogenic forcing with these winds picking up. It's gonna get crazy! I-71 corridor special friends.

I literally just threw salt from my garage out onto the driveway. We'll see how that goes.

[tron777]

25 now 1/4 mile vis Cannot see the house at the end of my street. Wow! It is ugly and wild out there! Sticking to everything now. Getting hammered!!!

25/20 here and snow is picking up quickly and watch out folks as ice formed in just a matter of minutes after the temp went below 32

[nnonno91]

Howdy yall. Been lurking. Just wanted to say hey before the show.

NICK!!!! YES!!! How in the hell have you been Brother? So glad you are here! You are now in what, Bethel?

Yessir! About to change over here finally!

[pianoman]

Change over has started in Morrow!

[Kgail76]

Changeover to snow quickly in Norwood, with wind picking up. My car has a dusting but there’s lots of blowing as well. I live on a corner and have seen a couple of cars struggling - guessing black ice.

EDIT - my thermometer reads 37, but it is on the covered porch so not super reliable.

[mainevilleweather]

Never seen the temperature drop like this in my life. 20 degree difference in an hour.
