I've heard everything from only a few inches to over a foot.

Where do they come up with these names anyways. As usual, southern half of Ohio caught in that area where it could be just rain or a foot of snow.

Weather Channel/NBC marketing gimmick. The rest of the media/weather community does not use the names because it's fucking retarded.

Yeah, forecasters fucked up our predictions.

One site has us comfortably in the 8-10", and TWC had us on the divide of 8-12 and 12-18....and we got maybe 2.

Nice fail.

Yeah, you guys up north got it.
I am usually pretty conservative about it and if we are fairly close to the lines for different ammounts predicted I give them the benefit of the doubt, but even come saturday afternoon/evening we were in the 8+ inch range by like 60 miles.
