<br>
<br>
<br>
We (Dayton Skywarn) plan to have an informal activation tomorrow, Monday 2/15. The ENTIRE state of Ohio is under a Winter Storm Warning. Preliminary forecast has total snowfall anywhere from 6"-12" of snow for West Central Ohio. This will bring moderate to major impacts for our area. <br>
<br>
There will be 2 rounds of snow. This first round will begin tonight into the overnight hours (1am-9am). Snow amounts of 1-3" are possible. The second round will occur Monday during the evening rush hour to late night (5pm-11pm) then taper down though the night. Snow amounts from 5-9" are possible. Snowfall rates of 1" per hour are possible during this time and there could also be some blowing and drifting, reduced visibility, to near blizzard conditions at times as a north wind from 20-30mph will also be possible. This will make travel difficult.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We will do an informal activation on 146.64- MHZ throughout the day to take reports of snow totals. We will go to a more constant net for the evening time frame. Montgomery County EMA is requesting information on road conditions, damage reports, power outages, etc. We will also monitor for stranded motorist or request for help and information during this time as well.<br>
<br>
Another round is expected on Thursday....<br>
<br>
See the attachments on how to accurately measure snowfall. Here are the winter reporting criteria:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
* 1" or more of snow per hour.<br>
* When first measuring 2", 4", 6", etc of snow. (every additional 2" of snow)<br>
* Storm total snowfall depth. (Give duration of event, I.E. from 12pm to 6pm)<br>
* Any freezing rain or freezing drizzle.<br>
* Any thunder or lightning associated with winter precipitation.<br>
