That's what a local met said we can expect around the middle of the month. Anyone else from around here hearing this?

Wow, a few local mets are hinting at a Storm of the Century next week for the Ohio Valley. People on a local music message board are even talking about it! LOL They're all joking though and by now they're (board members) all saying we'll get 10 feet of snow, run to the grocery.....etc. "White Death" is coming.....
But if we are in for a major wx change and snow/ice again next week, even if this is overly hyped up, at least Cincinnatians will be prepared this time. I know I will be! Running to Krogers right this second.....not!!!
I was going to post a wx update I got from one local met but it's so far off, I'm waiting until we get closer. He was predicting this storm 9 days out!

Impact Weather Discussion
We're quite confident that it's going to be very cold across the Northern plains by the middle of next week. But we're somewhat less confident in the forecast across the Southern Plains and the Gulf Coast States later next week. Back in 1983 and 1989, such an airmass brought temperatures into the lower teens down to the Gulf Coast. While we can't rule such cold temperatures out, we think that the airmass will have some time to modify before it reaches the Gulf Coast States next Friday/Saturday. Upper teens to mid 20s down to the coast of Texas through Mississippi is a distinct possibility with this airmass. However, we are concerned that the same active southern storm stream that will be affecting the southwest U.S. this weekend into early next week could be interacting with the Arctic air as it moves southward to the Gulf Coast late next week. This could set the stage for a significant ice event quite far south. But we're talking about 10 days out now, so any talk of possible freezing rain or snow across the Gulf Coast States is just speculation at this point. We are gaining confidence that it'll be getting much colder across the Deep South by the weekend of th 15th/16th of January, however.

I would def. agree that next week needs to be watched for the central and southern plains-the euro has the same look as it did for my area for this past storm-a low tracking across Kansas with the 0 line in Nebraska. I also would not be surprised that if the arctic air plungse south, a storm tracking across Texas would throw a snow shield over the central plains-My thought is basically the same kind of storm as this week, accept the precip. types moving south Snow for Kansas City-Wichita and ice for points south of Oklahoma City-this all depends on 1. The arctic out break happening (I have commented alot on that) 2. how far it goes-this past storm bascially followed the arctic boundry even though the gfs and eta took it way north-the euro of course had this track all along. If all these things come together, this could be an intense winter storm for folks from Omaha to Dallas-I am not even looking at specifics for precip. on the gfs or any model for that matter-the gfs had me in a snow storm for 5 runs then magically this morning it was gone on the 06z run!! Both gfs and euro have a low tracking thru the southern plains next Thursday-the euro's low is much stronger. We shall see because 1. I am a latin teacher so take me with a grain of salt and two, with over all pattern being dominated by SW flow, we could all be sitting in the 50's-70's next week!!!!

Well this seems to be the winter of extremes around here so it wouldn't surprise me. We've been around 20 degrees above average for the past week after being 20 degrees below average during Christmas. For January we're 18.4 degrees above average, somethings gotta give soon! Bring on the arctic blast
