It was definitely a unique sound and loud. Almost like multiple crashes/explosions.

"Cooke said the meteor was moving 44,000 mph"
The snowpack is just about melted. Still a good 2"+ in shaded areas. Hopefully we can move on to Spring at this point. Feels great out there at 52 degrees.
With the heaviest snow falling during daylight yesterday it was relatively low impact on main roads that were salted. Turned out to be a nice late season event. Can't believe such little snow fell at CLE though... the airport specifically always seems to miss .
This pretty much sums up what the radar has looked like all day. Higher elevations are doing quite well. Despite the cold temps and mod/heavy snow it is having a hard time sticking on the roads due to sun angle.
It has held on longer than expected. The sunny/open areas are grassy while shaded areas are still mostly snow covered. I'm starting to get in Spring mode. I'd still take a big storm but with the October sun angle out there is just isn't the same. Birds are out... and first signs of rabbits and skunks around so Spring is near.
The snowpack is slowly fading away and should be gone in the next day or two with warm temps and rain. We've had two good years in a row for snowpack retention so no complaints. Still hoping to hit 100" for the season... not too far away at this point.
Temps way overperformed today. Back down to 46 imby now as the winds shifted. Really feels like Spring out there. Took some measurements around the yard... anywhere from 8" - 14" on the ground. Going to be a slow melt as this will freeze up solid tonight.
Picked up 2.5" of snow last night. Really wasn't expecting anything. Areas just north probably had more looking at the radar. I guess the large crack in the ice just east of the western basin provided enough moisture.
Picked up a couple of more inches of fluff over night to push the total to 10.5". Still snowing out there now. We just didn't get the good ratio's yesterday. The snow was like sugar and much more dense than I anticipated. Still a nice storm.
I’m around 7” so far. The snow is much more dense than expected… sugary snow. Still another 6 to 7 hours of snow to come. It has been light to moderate since noon.
Nice to wake up and see the snow falling… thought the dry air might delay things. Eyeballing 2” already. CLE bumped up totals to 10-15”. Gonna be a fun day.
12z euro is .77". Tight cut off to the NW. Hopefully we can avoid any further shifts. Seems like the primary low always winds up a little more NW than forecast so hopefully that holds true.
