Jackstraw Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Woke up at 8 this morning, dreary as hell out. Decided to sleep in, wife just called woke me up and said look outside. Easily an inch, roads covered and huge parachutes 31 out side. I'm starting to feel like Phil in GHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KokomoWX Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Measured 1.0" on the nose at my place. Looks like the south and east side of LAF did best around here, which the radar certainly indicated. IND still 33º and rain. Gross. Might be the last one of the season here, so here's a pic to commemorate it. march 29 laf.JPG 33 and rain sucks in any season.

Latest measurable snow I can recall since living here was April 14, 2007. Time certainly ticking but wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't our last snow.

Trent Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Started off as all snow here on the westside of Cleveland. We'll see if changes over to rain before changing back to snow ... Dayton was reporting moderate snow on the top of the hour, looks like they switched back to a mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We actually managed to get fringed by flurries here this afternoon....while DTW didnt see a flake. This is the 89th day of the season that snow has fallen since our first flakes Oct 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Speaking of TSSN, on this date in 1954, an dynamic spring snowstorm hit the southern lakes and though only 4.6" was reported at Detroit, it included TSSN, which the monthly climate log stated "the thunderstorm of the 29th caused considerable public reaction when it occurred during a heavy snowstorm". Pic in the Free Press had tulip shoots plastered in snow. Widespread 6-8" was reported south of Detroit however. Would probably have been a cool storm (but suffering through the 1930s-50s wouldnt be worth it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Can any of the Cleveland members confirm if there's any TSSN (or what the snowfall rates are currently like)? It's dumping.

Trent Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Blizzard is sustained winds, not gusts, AOA 35mph with 1/4 visib for 3+ hours. Its a nice spring snowstorm is what it is It can be frequent gusts, but that's kind of arbitrary. Regardless, chalk up another wind driven snow here. This winter had one or two gentle snowfalls and that was it. Here's the official blizzard definition: Sustained winds or frequent gusts > 35 mph AND considerable falling and/or blowing snow frequently reducing visibility < ¼ for > 3 hours Blizzard conditions need to be the predominant condition over a 3 hour period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 And further debunking the common myth that snow won't stick to pavement in the spring, during daylight hours, with temperatures above freezing I give you exhibit A: road.JPG moresnow.JPG I dont care what kind of winter we have....this is probably one of the most annoying myths, because we see it on here EVERY YEAR (hell you start to hear some crazy sun angle posts in early Feb) and EVERY YEAR whoever gets a snowfall with any kind of snow rates debunks it. It goes for naught when the next spring arrives though. The models have been pegging CLE for days for this one...while you will probably not have 10-1 ratios, obviously its a nice spring snow. My mom is one of those by the books people....she loves each season...and she LOVES snow and has loved every minute of this winter,...but when springs here, shes done. So she texts me today...why is it snowing today (flurries)? I said we are just missing several inches of snow east in Cleveland. She said "good they can keep it". I said "MOM..really? 2 more inches for the 134-yr old record". I know people who HATE snow who want to break the record...she LOVES snow...but nope...its spring, so shes done.

Blizzard is the word that gets everyones mojo going, but I have had ENOUGH wind driven snowstorms this winter to last the next 10 winters. 93.1" of snow and not a plaster here.

Either way, 4th hour straight now that CLE has been at 1/4 mile visibility...I don't think they've pulled that off more than an hour or two at a time this winter until today.
