🚨 Weather Advisory ❄️

Patriot Protection Services would like to remind everyone to remain prepared and aware as a significant winter storm is expected this weekend. Forecasts currently call for 10–14 inches of snow, with dangerous road conditions likely.

Please plan ahead, limit unnecessary travel, allow extra time when driving, and ensure your vehicle and winter gear are ready. Continue to monitor local forecasts as conditions may change.

Stay safe and be prepared.

‼️ BIG SNOWFALL CHANGES: Confidence is increasing that a large swath of heavy snow will impact a large part of Ohio from Saturday evening through early Monday morning. A bulk of the snow will fall Sunday and Sunday night.

⏲️ TIMING: We'll see snow begin late Saturday afternoon across Southern Ohio. Some of the initial snow may not reach the ground with dry air in place. However, this looks to be quickly overcome and snow will fill in by late afternoon. We could see a break sometime Saturday night before the bulk of the snow moves in by early Sunday but models differ on this idea. Snow continues into early Monday morning before ending.

❄️ SNOWFALL AMOUNTS: Significant and many places will reach a foot of snow or more. It's possible we could see higher amounts in spots but where and how much more are in question. Lower amounts will be found across NW Ohio and Southern Ohio. However, Southern Ohio is tricky. There is the potential for a mix with or change to sleet or freezing rain for a time on Sunday. This cuts down on snowfall totals but brings some ice into the picture before changing back over to snow. Model data doesn't completely agree on this scenario but we look at climatology and past events and we see more often than not this sort of thing happen. For now, we went with 6-10"+ because if the precipitation stays all snow, amounts will easily exceed 10".

🚗 IMPACTS: Big. Huge. Not fun. We suggest delaying travel as roads will be snow covered and it will take time to clear them. Gusty winds will create blowing and drifting snow. The snow will be heavy at times, with 1" per hour snowfall rates likely at times. This will reduce visibility but also allow snow to quickly pile up.

👉 MORE CHANGES EXPECTED!! While some model data we look at has been really consistent the past couple of days, changes are still possible! Additional revisions to our snowfall map are possible through the day on Friday and even Saturday as well. Please stay tuned for the latest!
