Is winter here?

• WebFire

  NBC 4 Columbus saying 6+ for most of the state, with areas that get all snow and no mix around 9-10".

  The NAM always goes crazy with QPF. The Euro, that I've got through Accuweather Pro, is showing .81" of liquid, and with hopefully a 12:1 ratio we'll be golden. The thing that will make the difference is where that great DGZ sets up that gives us 12 or 13:1 ratios and along the lakeshore may see some lake enhancement as well. Crazy as that sounds, we've got the wind at a perfect angle off the lake out of the ENE to give us a little more fuel which would offset any possible loss of moisture due to intense convection down south during the storm

  Still too early although it looks like its turning a bit earlier which would suck for Fairfield/Hocking/Athens counties.
  Don't think rain line makes it past waverly although I could see a sleet/frz rain/snow storm for Columbus/Lancaster area with totals being down due to mixing.
  Still think 4-5 is a good bet for Fairfield County.

  I'd rather have snow than ice. The map that Joe Bradley just posted has a few inch difference between Pickerington and Lancaster

  I should have clarified that 6-10 is what we will probably actually get. NAM still has us in 14-18" range. It's happened before...the storm of 2008 everyone was making fun of the NAM and it played out.
  
  I think most are expecting wet, heavy snow, bringing ratios down, but bringing its own problems with it.

  If sleet mixes in then you'll probably be at 4-6", if you can stay all snow then 6-8"
