Absolute Vorticity

4-6 is definitely doable in southern Montgomery county considering what is heading our way. If you already have 3 inches, 6 inches is not out of reach.

Correct me if I am wrong (and Rich A. and myself used to have this discussion often) - but our geography sometimes causes issues like today (all rain). Deep in the valley and next to the river. I can drive 5 miles from here, out of the valley and it will be icy. Atmospheric issues have always been difficult to overcome - I've been here my entire life and historically this is true. Thoughts?

Edit - location - Ripley, OH (Brown County) - right on the Ohio River

I have no idea where you live, so I can't say.

Les, I had a brief period of snow mixed with sleet an hour ago and then it went back to pinging and now it's very light sleet at 23 degrees. I'm hoping those returns to our SW have snow involved, I'm done with the sleet already!

Still sleeting in Covington. Went out to clear a layer off my car and measured roughly 1.5 inches on a good flat spot on my garden wall. Not as thick a layer of ice under the sleet as I thought there would be. but all that sleet sure sounded pretty pushing it off the car LOL

Saw some snow here then went back to sleet with a few flakes mixed in 23.6°

i measured not long ago and we have 2.5" of sleet on the ground. Hopefully we will switch to snow sooner or later. The ice is going to be a problem for days.

Ripley, OH (Brown County) - right on the Ohio River

yep - had some great snow for a while and now back to the sleet. it’s gotta change over all the way soon.

Still sleeting here in Amelia, radar shows I'm right on the line.

So stubborn

I just want it to stop sleeting so I can shovel one last time.

Should be mostly snow north of the green line

Back to sleet in Liberty Township, I’m grilling… LOL

Based on the above map and radar ,hopefully many along and north of I71 will be getting snow for the next several hours

ILN came out with new map. Also, still sleet

I"ve lost count how often they"ve changed maps the last 3 days

24 / 21 still pinging

1.75 mile vis and light snow and 25 at CVG as of 7pm. I am pinging,. How in the Sam hell is that possible?

Looks like it is snowing at UC on Local 12.

Still pinging in Maineville. This is the sleet that never ends.

So far, so good here. Transformer explosion in my hood. Two streets are out, Clovernook and Hidden Springs. That is close to me.

Don't worry you are not alone.

I’m still pinging in Norwood, too.

Les , we're in a ground hogs day of sleet
