More Snow (insert "yawn")

Winter continues this weekend. As we've been talking all week, more snow is in the forecast. A big, wet storm coming in to California today. It will move across the nation during the weekend giving Ohio another round of snow on Sunday and Monday.

Earlier in the week I was thinking 4-6 inches would do it with heavier snow south of the Akron area. Then the models got a bit more aggressive, so I moved the total up to 6-8 inches. 6 inches has been the consistent figure in both of these forecasts. So at this point I'm going to settle on that number. Allowing for variances, I'll split the difference in my previous two forecasts and say 5-7 inches will likely be on the ground by mid-morning Monday.

Here's the breakdown for what we expect to happen:

Saturday - Occasional snow during the day with accumulations of an inch or less

Saturday Night - Occasional light snow with an inch or two by morning.

Sunday and Sunday Night - Snow will continue with intervals of heavier snowfall.

Monday - Snow tapering off to snow showers in the morning.

TOTAL SNOW BY MID-MORNING MONDAY:  5-7 inches
