Last week we mentioned a large storm which could hit early this week. By the weekend it became apparent that that storm would miss us. So, why did we get a big storm on the day we said the storm would miss us?
The storm forecast last week actually moved off the Atlantic coast, missing most of the U.S.. Another weaker storm formed in our area and dumped the rather narrow but potent band of snow we saw Tuesday. This storm was not foreseen very far in advance but accompanied the push of cold air which was originally expected to merge with the east coast storm.
Tuesday’s snowfall of 4.6 inches at my location, plus 1.0 inches overnight, brings my total snowfall since Jan. 1 to 21.2 inches. Normal for an entire year in Cincinnati is about 23 inches, so if it’s seemed snowy this year…..!
Warmer weather and a chance of rain will be the rule next week.
