I saw two different models, one calling for a couple inches, the other calling for a couple feet. I'm betting it'll be the lower number.

If it's anything like the BOMB CYCLONE...............I wouldn't be too worried.

When did we start naming Winter storms?

And why do they have to go in alphabetical order ...........all the names beginning with R-Z never get called; discrimination. :)

 

 

I just read 5 - 8" of snow and ice Friday night.

Going with lots of ice afternoon Friday, switching over to 3-5 inches snow later.  Commute home for most will be a doozy.

When the Weather Channel needed a new gimmick for ratings.

 

The National Weather Service, or any not retarded meteorologist, doesn’t use the names

I watched a Cincy weather lady try to explain it....it didn’t go well

The latest I'm seeing for Cincinnati is a layer of ice forming in the late morning/early afternoon, followed by 3-6" of snow. The evening commute is probably going to be brutal, I'll be working from home.

I have no idea what to expect, but I'm going to the store for snacks tonight just in case.

I'm sure bread and milk will be sold out across the state.

It'll be anarchy

 

 

Looks like rain to freezing rain around 3 pm; then 6-9 inches of snow.  Should be a skating rink out there.

I've got bread, and milk can die in a fire for all I care. I do need cheese, pizza, chips, chocolate and beer.

We had to run to Kroger last night for a few things unrelated to prepping for any sort of storm. It was as crowded as I've ever seen it.

Nothing but rain in Cincinnati so far, but the temp seems to be dropping.

I've heard that areas in the NW part of the state are icy. Just rain in north central Ohio so far, but everything school-related at least has been canceled for the day. And I recently hit up our Krogers because I was thinking about frying some wings tonight and needed to buy them. That was a hilarious experience. Apparently half the county is planning to be snowed in for the next couple weeks.
