Absolute Vorticity

In case anyone missed it - From the boys:

*11:30 AM UPDATE*

Trends in some of the hi-res models suggest a number of
locations across northern KY and the Scioto Valley could observe
ice accumulations near or just over 0.5" through the afternoon
and early overnight hours. With the higher-end amounts and
combined impact that winds will have on power lines and branches,
have decided to upgrade to an Ice Storm Warning for our
southern/southeastern counties. Please note that transitions to
sleet and snow will still occur after the accumulating ice, but
the ice accretion could cause widespread impacts and therefore
wanted to message the higher impacts with the freezing rain
potential in those counties.

If you loop through the correlation coefficient out of Indy, it really hasn’t moved since 9:30 this morning. It seems it might have drifted northward until 11 and then started dropped south in the past hour but I think it’s wishful thinking as I want some snow.

wasn't that something tim tossed out the other day, that at a certain point you might get stuck on whatever p-type you were for a while? Seems he hit that one on the head too.

Ping a-ling ping a-ling ping, ping, ping...

Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Mercer, Montgomery, and Preble, along with Wayne IN all under a Level 1.

Clinton under a Level 2.

It is just hammering sleet out there just like it did last year lol Man oh man...

Ping, ping, ping ... and some nice wind gusts too!

It's like that crock with the clock in it's belly following Captain Hook around NeverLand.

The sky is becoming more of a white color so my guess sleet is coming my way. So far its been a very light gray sky which gave me the frz/rain. Should no more in the next few minutes or so.

Moderate to heavy sleet moving in for the rest of afternoon , south to north. Except freezing rain east

TOR watch issued now for portions of MS and AL. This storm continues to unfold and evolve.

checked on my salt outside - if you plan to do that, don’t waste your time and salt. it’s done absolutely nothing.

I wonder if I get more sleet out of this system then last year's. It's going to make a run at it! Heavy sleet here, getting hammered by pingers!

Precip rate is just going to be too much...

When Texas has snow and you have sleet.

ILN isn't giving up! Released at 12:41. Interesting how the 8-12 has become spotty.

Winds picking up here also,

Of course this is not good for them but it may show where the storm is getting stronger and we need this to get somewhat stronger as it heads into the Tn Valley which can help pull some of the cold air further south and east. These are not the kind of training storms that line up west to east and block heavier precip from flowing northward so it will not cut off our moisture supply.

28 / 25 at CVG as of 1pm with light snow and light sleet reported. Vis of 1 mile

Wondering the same... we need something to get those 850s crashing as the good stuff moves in lol

Shoveled for the 3rd time already. Everytime I finish it is already covered again. Praying this changes over quicker

CVG has canceled all remaining departures for the day.

Good thing that Dave left for Naples yesterday.

Can only imagine the situation there at Cincy / N KY Int'l today.
