Big snow done... more coming

 

I worked a thirteen hour day yesterday and went home to an inch of ice and four more inches of snow(after it was done falling).  Buckeye was loving the snow and running around in it.

We always get some sweet drifts of snow back at my parents' house in Western Ohio and my sister took a picture of a drift that was hanging over the edge of the roof.  My dad also said that the road has a few feet of snow in the drift.  They cut through a hill so the road didn't have a steep hill, but now it drifts shut every winter.

I did a little comparison between this winter and last winter for Columbus... we are halfway of beating last year's snowfall total.

Dayton already has a jump on Columbus since they saw more snow yesterday.  They are 0.6" away from breaking last year's total and by the time we get through the weekend, they may beat last year's total.

Thanks to all the low-level moisture the clouds will be sticking around for a while.  Temperatures will fall into the teens tonight and salt alone looses its effectiveness anything lower than 20 degrees.  Be careful for patches of ice Friday morning.  Friday night light snow showers will develop with light accumulations expected, around 1-2" by Saturday.  A little more sun heading into Sunday and staying cold with another slight chance for snow as we ring in 2013 Monday night.  I will keep an eye on things, so be sure to check back in.  In the meantime, be careful for the re-freeze and have a good one!

Best,
