Snow, gusty winds reduce visibility as temps plummet

WE’VE ALREADY SEEN A MAJOR DISASTER THIS MORNING, BUT WE START THE CASE WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDY RICO THIS MORNING. RANDI, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THIS SYSTEM? RANDI: WE HAVE ACTUALLY REACHED BLIZZARD STATUS. WE HAD THAT STRONG WIND AND SNOW FOR A FEW HOURS AND IMMEDIATELY YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THE SNOW IS OVER. LET ME GET THIS OUT OF THE MIC SO I DON’T BOTHER YOU ALL MORNING. IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE BLIZZARD OF FUN AND LOOKING AT WHAT’S HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY WE HAVE SNOW DOWN TOWARDS COLUMBUS. OUR SNOW IS OVER, BUT WE WILL LIKELY STILL HAVE TROUBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THOSE STRONG WINDS CONTINUE. THIS IS A THREE HOUR TIME LAG YOU CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW HOURS REALLY IN NAKED. AND THEN SNOWFLAKES DRIVING NORTH. I’M GOING TO SWITCH THIS TO A WIDE VIEW AND THERE ARE SOME HEAVIER BANDS OF SNOW HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF COLUMBUS RIGHT NOW. LARGER MORNING ACCUMULATIONS WILL SPREAD OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OHIO. THOSE BLUER BANDS YOU SEE ARE THE ONES SEEING THE BIGGEST SPRING OF THE STORM. I WILL BE WATCHING FOR A FEW OF THESE LIGHT SNOWFLAKES APPEARING ON THE RADAR BACK TOWARDS INDIANAPOLIS. WE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW DRIVEN BY 40 TO 40 MPH WINDS WHICH MAY CAUSE VISIBILITY ISSUES. AS YOU GO THROUGH THE MORNING, IF YOU HEAD OUT, BE AWARE THAT THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN VISIBILITY IS REDUCED AGAIN DUE TO THE USUAL VERY LIGHT SNOW FALL. WE ARE SNOWING HEAVY OVER COLUMBUS AND UP TOWARD CLEVELAND. CHECK OUT THE BRUTAL COLD ON OUR END. OUR TEMPERATURES ARE FALLING NOW, BUT NOT EVERYWHERE. WE HAVE TWO DEGREES BELOW ZERO IN CINCINNATI. THESE ARE YOUR ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES, BUT YOU KNOW IT IS BRUTALLY COLD HERE AND THE WINDS ARE CURRENTLY BURNING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. YOU CAN SEE KENTUCKY AND THEY’RE FALLING BACK AT 20 MPH SO YOU WANT TO DO THE WIND COLD COMPUTING? LET’S SEE WHAT IT’S LIKE OUTSIDE. MOST PLACES FEEL LIKE 25 DEGREES BELOW WITH ANY KIND OF SKIN EXPOSED, SO WE ARE SEEING THOSE WIND CHILLS STAYING IN THAT 20 TO 30 DEGREES RANGE AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. HISTORY WAS WRITTEN DURING THIS STORM. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SIX-HOUR TEMPERATURE FALL RECORDED FOR CBG. WE WERE AT 41 DEGREES AT 8:00, BUT BY 8:00 WE ARE AT TWO DEGREES AND FALLING FURTHER. THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED ALMOST 40 DEGREES. TEMPERATURES CONTINUED TO FALL AND WE WERE AT ZERO AT 3:00 AM. TODAY’S SCHEDULER WITH WINDS FELT LIKE 28 BELOW THROUGHOUT THE MORNING IF YOU ARE TRAVELING THIS SITE MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRESSED IN ALL LAYERS AND TRY TO BE SAFE ON THE ROADS.
