NEOH

Sure feels like mid-winter outside. Wish we would have this weather earlier in the winter. Not a lot of talk about the storm this week. Hoping for a decent synoptic storm. Things look messy as usual. SE winds generally don't bode well for big snows around here.

Crazy snow this evening. Probably 2-3" already. Looks like a lake St. Clair band moving over the lake... Don't see that too often.

Nice forecast OH Weather. Looking forward to the squall with the front... with "green blob" snow over the higher terrain following.

Surprised no advisories issued other than ashtabula county. They will definitely do well if the huron band can set-up... but you would think that lake and geauga would get in the action as well. Interesting that BUF has warnings out for all of WNY which typically doesn't do well with NW wind events given the very short fetch.

Enjoy that Huron band tomorrow. Should be a nice firehose.

Could see a nice burst of snow with the arctic front and a wide open lake. Winds come around from 320 -330. Not enough to get a huron connection. W PA should do well. AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION EARLY FRIDAY. SWWINDS WILL BEGIN TO BACK TO THE WEST BY MIDDAY AS THE FRONTADVANCES. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT AS MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES IN. THIS WILL TRIGGER SOME LAKE EFFECT BANDSFAIRLY RAPIDLY AS THE LAPSE RATES CLIMB. THE FIRST BAND WILL LIKELY CLIP LAKESHORE ERIE/ASHTABULA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITHPERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW. COULD SEE A QUICK 3 TO 5 INCHES IF THE BAND MOVES ONSHORE. THE NW FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGIONFRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH SUPPORT FOR ONGOING LAKE EFFECT. LOOK FOR HURON BANDS TO ENHANCE SNOW AMOUNTS. THE BEST ESTIMATESFOR THE EVENT IS AREAS IN ASHTABULA/ERIE/CRAWFORD OF 8-12". OUTSIDE OF THE SNOWBELT SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE LIMITED TO AROUND ANINCH OR LESS AS THE SYSTEM IS MOISTURE STARVED. SNOW RATIOS WILL BE PUSHING 20 TO 1 AT TIMES SO SNOW AMOUNTS COULD QUICKLYACCUMULATE WITH BANDS.

Yeah... the fluff settles quickly. Best snowpack of the year out this way though. Thanks for taking one for the team... enjoy CA.

We've had around 14"-15" for the event. Yes, it is feast or famine around here. DTA and I live very close... We definitely need a WNW to NW wind for significant snows around here. We are on the SW edge of the snowbelt with a decent elevation of 1,200 ft or so.

Congrats on the snow. It was long overdue.

My co-worker was in both Shaker and Beachwood this morning. He said they had about half of the snow that we have in Chagrin. Not very specific but I think accums were definitely lower in that area. Returns seems to picking-up over the lake. We just had a nice whiteout in Chagrin.

Came up with around the same total last night. The snow must have shut off after 11pm or so. By far the best LES event we've had in quite sometime... and a spread the wealth one at that. Would have liked to see the band lock in place for an extended period of time.

Too bad you aren't up here for this one. The snowfall rates under the heavier returns are amazing.

This reminds of the early season event we had in November 1996... The snow always became more cellular during the day only to organize again at night. Chardon picked up 70 inches... But the snow never seemed to come down heavy until evening. Great event so far so no complaints.

You don't see that often. The snow was just pouring down. Haven't measured yet but easily 12+ on the deck The band has slipped just south of us but radar looks good. If that band locks in there will be some huge totals tonight.

A good amount of those snowshowers have come through Chagrin with complete whiteout conditions. Pretty impressive. Hopefully a solid band can get going this evening. I do think sun angle plays a role with LES this time of the year. Basically the same sun angle as late October. Seems like once evening hits things start coming together again.

Thanks for the update. Snow has really picked-up in Chagrin. Looking forward to see what happens tonight.

Radar appearance has become much more cellular... maybe because of peak heating in mid-Feb? Hopefully things can consolidate again tonight. Had a few heavy bursts of snow with the band but it has dissipated.

Slowly but surely. Looks like another decent band forming on the north side of the lake. Wonder if the band coming through doesn't dissipate with the new band forming becoming the primary and moving south.

If that band can maintain its structure rather than falling apart over land there are going to be some high totals today. I may be wrong... but the wind shift doesn't look that severe so perhaps the band will just realign on the WNW'erly flow.

It was definitely poor measuring on my part. Didn't have a chance to clear the deck last night. Thanks for looking into the totals.

Measured just under 4" on the driveway this morning. The ground must have been warm as it was a little slushy on the bottom. Definitely a nice start. That band over the lake looks healthy... should be interesting when that pushes onshore. I have a few gaps in snowfall from Sunday and Monday... any chance you can let me know what amounts we had?

Flew back to CLE this evening. Nice to see the snow around here again. It's coming down pretty well in South Russell. Great forecast OHWeather. Hopefully everything works out. The wrf NMM almost mirrors your forecast... It has had a hot hand this winter so no reason not to ride it.

I'm out of town in Maine. Nice to see what a storm looks like for a change in the northeast. Sounds like the winter of "what could go wrong will" continues at home. Hopefully the LES snow delivers the rest of the week.

Picked up a little over 1" last night. Model trends are a little better for next week. Would be ideal if the low moves just north of the lake.

Wow. Didn't realize the futility record was that low. Definitely a chance this winters lands in 2nd or 3rd place.
