Absolute Vorticity

All snow in Vandalia. It took a little while to moisten the atmosphere. It's coming down at a good clip. A thin layer of white covering everything. By the looks of radar it should begin to pick up in intensity for a bit. I would expect to receive about an inch up here. We will see.

Still nothing but a 33 degree rain here between Blanchester and Morrow in Warren County

Unfortunately temps have been where I thought they’d be 32-36 throughout the morning, and looks like the inch or less forecast is going to work for the majority of the region

Snowing at a decent clip here, but the flakes are very fine. Therefore, accumulation is slow.

Good job man! You definitely scored on this one.

Good morning all and I busted also. 33 and light rain here. Have not seen a single flake of snow. Props to you Bgoney!

Picture from Fairfield that someone posted on my page.

Monroe and still falling at a good rate.

Just flurries right now

The back edge of the precip shield is approaching I-65 so this event will even be wrapping up a bit earlier then I expected. The primary low got into SE KY so a bit further north then progged. Just enough warm air to screw us over S of the River. I assume this should bode well for the I-70 Crew though.

Glad to see some of you get some action N of the river!

Dusting here with some mix or rain and snow now.

Closing in on an inch in Oxford. 30.1

33 / 30 here - light rain. The next wave will be dropping into the area tonight into the day on Sunday. Should be all snow for I-70 Crew and a mix of rain / snow to the south. Light accum for I-70 folks is possible with no accum to the south.

Rain

Feel like the models didn't do a good job this week with precip types. The Mid-Atlantic looks like rain and freezing rain when they were expecting a good amount of snow.

Not enough cold air to work with and the dynamic cooling that was expected, didn't pan out. We needed a stronger low to pull more cold air down.

Hopefully one of this big upcoming storms can something for us besides rain

2 to 2.5 inches of snow in St. Leon, Indiana

Awesome! Nice to see someone finally hitting our target snowfall range. Location played a big rile with this system.
