Thursday sure did have its moments of snow squalls, didn't it? Well, maybe some of you saw the snow and some of you didn't, depending on where you were. Showers were definitely scattered in nature, but very heavy at times.
Here's some footage I took from my drone over Canal Winchester as a squall moved in:
With the back light of the setting sun, the squall initially looked very much like a spring thunderstorm. But a quick quarter of an inch of snow fell in just about 10 minutes, and then we went back to sunlight.
This Week
I don't think we're going to have anything like that this week. A very large storm system will move in tomorrow evening through Tuesday morning, which will essentially "reset" the pattern to more of a flat, active period. This storm will coil up in to a monster in Canada, but just bring a line of rain and gusty winds behind it for us:
After this? Well, it'll be quiet for a couple days before we start to see multiple systems ride west to east along a flatted out jet stream pattern. Because warmer air seems to be pushing northward, this will mostly be a rain making pattern for us. If this were January? Perfect setup for quick hitting snow systems.
For us to see any more snow this season, we're going to need some deep arctic air to settle in and a southern low to eject out of a Gulf state. That's just about the only way we ever see a decent accumulation once we get in to those early Spring days.
So, what do you think? Will we see any more significant (more than 1") of snow this season? Or, do you think this is it?
