A shift north so far on the 18z foreign models with the heavier snow band. The short range Canadian and now the Euro. Here's the 12z Euro compared to the 18z. Being on I-70 I'm looking for all the north trends I can get. ;)

Agreed and I saw the 18Z HRRR to your point.

Prayers that you'll feel much better soon, Casie.

My folks and I had Covid at Christmas 2021 and Christmas 2023.

Currently 21 here in G'ville and progged for around 14 Sat morning.

Good Evening and a nice break from the weather world. Do want to make a correction and yes you have transfer of energy over the mountains and this happens all the time but my point was this is not where a stronger system off the east coast is the bully and taking away the energy from the other side of the mountains. Just a natural progression and without the stronger southeast ridge getting a system to develop off the coast was not going to happen.

I made sure I watched channel 5 tonight and they use the Euro 99.9 percent of the time. Kevin still had high amounts and not what the mid-day Euro was showing. He does have a nice period of sleet for us though and again that is really the hardest question to answer. Normally these areas of sleet are narrow but stubborn once they get going and no doubt can sometimes cut your snow totals in half. I still have 2-4 inches during the first 6 hours and 2-4 the last 6 hours but what happens really at the height of the storm. Somebody within 50 miles of Cvg will most likely end up with over a foot before all is said and done. Ice storm and that imo looks to be near Lexington and southeast of there. I-70 and folks between Indy and Dayton looks like a solid 6-10 inch snow but near Columbus I have more of a 4-8 because of the darn northeast wind.

The energy from the system heading into the west coast is really nice and I always looks at this because this gives you a base to work with and sometimes miss this part of the equation but for most of the week done well.

So ready for the evening model runs and then a break until morning. Have a few things to attend to in the morning but will be on in the afternoon before the NFL later in the afternoon

21Z SREF continues that trend of being north(more than the globals). Its juicier for everyone so far through 57.

Some of the Hres models seem to have a little stronger of a low pressure compared to the global models. That would be the difference in the northerly shield of the precip they are depicting. Here is the 12z FV3 model and 18z Nam. 999 and 1000 mb respectively.

Good trends on the SREF as you stated. The 15z vs the 21z. More snow for everyone on this run. I like the trends for the Dayton crew. 00z runs will be quite telling for us northern posters.

Thank you. Right now, I feel terrible. Can’t get much worse. I’m a kidney transplant recipient, so I’m immunosuppressed, and I get hit hard with these things. Doc called in Paxlovid, so hoping I feel better soon.

Here’s hoping for enough snow to call off Monday (and maybe even Tuesday!)..🤞

May not be too bad. We'll see. As long as that stupid ice stays south I am fine with whatever else happens. Christ, we're used to sleet. We may as well come to expect it. :lol:

Hey Tim! It's all good. I kind of figured that's what you meant but def appreciate the clarification. :thumbsup: Such a fun system to try and figure out that is for sure. Strength, duration, precip type. If the general public only knew what it takes to put together a forecast lol

The sref will be interesting as the last one we had some totals nearing 18 inches and yes a handful in the 13-16 range. I believe some of that is sleet related but if somehow we can stay snow for the duration a foot of snow possible and not many storms of double digits around these parts.
