WSWatch issued but guessing it gets downgraded to a winter weather advisory for franklin and surrounding counties.

Sounds like tomorrow night will be our best bet.

1-2 wouldnt even qualify for the WWA. For us, WSWarning is 6" in 12 hours, and an advisory is 3" respectively.

 

Models are in pretty good agreement on 3-6 with a "lollipop" 7" somewhere.

Merely a dusting here.

 

Have a lime lapse setup - have around 8 k photos to process in it when I wake up, I'll post it when it's done.

 

I need a fun time lapse marker for these. :-/

4" at least at my place this morning. 310 and 161 were surprisingly very well cleared. Licking County does a great job out my way. Took me an extra 10 minutes to get to work on top of my normal 20 minute commute. Stelzer Rd was the worst road I encountered this morning.

City of Columbus and ODOT forgot to watch the panic weather reports

yea i was very pleased with how well 161 was plowed, I chose to get off at sunbury rd and take that to steltzer, what a mistake!! Steltzer was a mess and the people were full blown tards out there today

Nice.. I had one set up but for some reason it stopped after 1 hour. Sad

 

We got about 3.5" of super fluffy snow in dublin. Was easy to brush off the car and sidewalk with a broom.

How are you doing your time lapse? cellphone? DSLR?

[mrs.cos]

Mine was with gopro

I have an old Samsung galaxy s2 running an app called lapse it. Its free, and all rendering and makes it into an mp4 for you. I had it set to snap a photo once a minute. Only bad part is it puts a very quick plug for itself at the beginning of the video. Its easy to edit out though.

 

Heres a sample of the november storm.

How long does the battery last using this method? Can you leave it plugged in? I just leave the phone plugged in while i'm running mine.

Got about 4" in Hilliard I'd say. Woke up at 5:40 and shoveled the driveway (I'm sure my neighbors loved that) and slid my way to the gym.

 

I drive Hilliard to Easton daily for work and it's usually a 20-30 minute drive. Took me an hour and 10 today and some dude in a silver Colbalt went right into a barrier in front me, then backed out and kept driving. It was pretty wicked.

Get the automated school-closed voice call at 5:45 this morning, and it looked like 3-4" of fluff in UA. Half hour to get to work where it normally takes 10-12 minutes. Not bad. Glad it was so cold that the snow hasn't yet melted and refreezed as a layer of ice on the roads.

 

315 was moving, albeit at 10mph. Made me glad I'm only on it for a few miles. Coworker came into the office from Powell at 9:30am...said it took her 2 hours. :dumb:

[Forrest Gump 9]

i don't see what's the big deal was. I think I was doing 90 on i70 this morning.

[Turbs3000]

daily I drive from Alkire to Stringtown to Nationwide downtown to the brewery district. Today took 10 minutes longer then normal the crappiest part being the downtown portion the roads hadn't been touched in hours during rush hour.

I have it plugged in. I have a skellly case on it so i can do it.

5" of beautiful snow in HH.

Snow has been crazy latly and the temp is making it tough. Also side note / venting why is it that people think if they slip and fall in say a Walgreens parking lot they are entitled to money. If your car slides off the highway do you send a bill to ODOT?

[Radio Flyer1647545514]

First season with snow tires and I'm wondering what the point is. Can't take advantage of them with everyone doing 30mph under the speed limit.

There's your problem. Try the backroads.

That's not updated.

 

I got some good drive time around Westerville after 10pm, but for the common hour daily commute it was backed up everywhere.

[jeffro]

Its coming.

On a side note....the ice formations that form under the dripping furnace exhaust pipes are pretty darn cool. Mine was about 6" from the pipe which is at least 3' off the ground. Broke it off...though I am not sure if it would ever clog the pipe seeing its hot air. Still concerning.
