What about leaving tomorrow morning. Do you think I can get to columbus or Findlay OH before things turn nasty?

It would be better, yes. I'd still prepare for a few inches of snow, but I don't think they'll be as much as there will be of Columbus.

Hopefully you're a good snow driver.

Findley is where the heaviest snow will fall up there (probably around 4-6 inches)

What did you mean? East of Columbus?

Just to make sure I understand… Do you think leaving tomorrow and staying in Columbus is best? From what you say and what I can gather from other places, it sounds like Findlay may be a snow bridge too far. Right? Go to Columbus and wait for the roads to get clear on Wednesday?

I meant north of Columbus. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my thoughts that I skip words. Oops.

Correct on the second part. Be prepared for snow as you get into Ohio, but I think if you get to Columbus by late evening tomorrow you should be okay. It's overnight (Wednesday morning) that it should be the worst.

And bear in mind they are much better prepared to handle snow up there than here and the roads should not be in too bad of shape, especially once the snow stops or lessens.

Here's my first guess.

Roanoke: 7-10
Lynchburg: 10-15 (wider range of possibilities)
Southside: 6-9
Richmond 6-9 (possibly much higher)
VA Beach: 2-4

Are you sticking with this still?

I ran to Sam's Club. Does it still count? I had to get dog food and just loaded up on staple foods:milk eggs bacon.......

Nope. Waiting for 0z data. Probably cut it by 20-40%.

Typical of Lynchburg this year. Schools close, nothing but rain... my prediction. God must be judging us for getting so POd after the derecho!

[jbock13]

I'm not cutting it as much as the local TV stations are. They're being a bit irrational.

perhaps you should have purchased some salad and fat free dressing......

Salads can go bad. Besides its skim milk!

I don't know... I don't see 6+ inches out of this system. I know it hasn't hit the moisture from the Gulf yet, but the trough isn't very strong. There will be cold air, but not enough to warrant a storm producing 6 - 12 inches in this area.

[jbock13]

My only question is that it keeps wanting to phase with a seeming non existent disturbance over New York which keeps dragging it too far to the north.

[jbock13]

2-6 for Lynchburg. The only thing that could possibly go wrong with this storm has.

Any change for my travels? Leaving in 10 minutes.

I don't really think so.

That's why they get paid to do this and you don't.

Well, this is what happened. They may end up being right, but for all the wrong reasons.

My house should be interesting. I am equidistant from Appomattox and Lynchburg. Latest forecast said the 'burg gets 2-3 inches and Appomattox around 6". Hmmm

[LUconn]

Should be a map on every page of this thread

[LUconn]

by the way, the accumulation forecasts seem to be getting lamer by the hour.

If I were to guess, 4 in Lynchburg, 5 in Appomattox.
