18Z NAM looks great with that low track that I mentioned above.. CVG gets tickled with sleet barely and the dry slot narrowly misses us to the south. Wonderful back end snows too. The call looking golden at this time. QPF for CVG is 1.32"

A nice band coming into my hood again and my snow has picked back up to steady status.

Not snowing here yet. There are good returns overhead but I'm still waiting for the column to saturate. I'm encouraged though by the nice returns to my west about a county row to my north. Once the column is saturated I will see decent banding.
Update to that. As soon as I posted that, I'm now starting to see the first flakes so the column has begun to saturate.

Les, I see that on radar. Not to be negative in anyway but there seems to be more low intensity areas showing up on radar through southern IN and my quess is that is all part of the course of this storm?

Snow is a lot more scattered than I expected. In a heavy band right now but I feel like if we keep missing this pockets of heavy snow the overall total will be less than expected. OR If we end up getting the heavy bands it could be much more than expected.

Radar filled in over southern / central Darke Co. but so far not seeing any actual flakes here in south Greenville.MVWxObserver wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 11:30 am Nothing here yet in Greenville, but from previous posts, probably in the 5 to 6 PM time frame. Will be pleasantly surprised if earlier.
My Dad and I went to Kroger and it was the first time that, being there, the whole cart corral inside the store was empty.
Thankfully a Kroger employee in the parking lot gave us a cart as we were heading to the store. Re: January 5-6th, 2025 First Legit Winter Storm of the Season

If any of y'all are on Reddit, there are some nice pictures of the Arch, the old courthouse and downtown in the St. Louis subreddit. They are a from a post from 4 hours ago, but it gives a good perspective, it appears the visibility was pretty bad.

Moderate batch near Louisville should move into NK, then the heavy stuff downriver for evening

just measured my front stoop, untreated concrete, 2-1/4" as of 3:37pm, visibility probably less than 1/4mi as cannot see Blue rock Rod/Reagan Hwy now. Snow has found another gear. Roads were slushy 10-15min ago, now filling in with white.

Getting hammered here now and the intensity comes and goes. Should be getting to that 3" mark by 4pm or so if this keeps up. But yeah, it comes and goes.

Snow needs to pick up!! No way we see even 6" if it snows at this rate congrats to Cinci as it looks like you will get burried

Awesome to hear! You are just to my west. We will see how the banding sets up for us I-70 posters. Liking what I see. We are now saturating the column. If we can get a couple decent bands along I-70 as the event unfolds we may do ok.snowbo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 3:43 pmOfficially snowing nicely here now!dce wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 3:17 pm Not snowing here yet.

Snow has picked up quite nicely. If this rate continues its about 1 maybe 2 inches per hour rate. LOVE IT
