I wonder if next winter's El Nino is going to be more like a La Nina.

So far this month, precipitation at CLE has been abysmal. Only .07" has fallen to date and forecast QPF/precip chances keep going down...down...down. Could be the driest Feb on record at CLE or easily the 2nd driest.

Yes it is...

OHweather, what happened to cause the snowflakes to not be so good?

Updated list: Snow equivalent: GFS AI - .79/~12" GFS - .71/~10.5" CMC - .75/~11" ECMWF - .77/~11.5" Average snow accumulation per 12z models: ~11"

Those numbers make sense. Snow equivalent: GFS AI - .79/~12" GFS - .71/~10.5" CMC - .75/~11"

It looks like most models are showing us keeping a deformation zone of light snow into Monday morning, so that's good. It's the transfer that's always so unpredictable.

Thinking the biggest risk is the transfer of energy to the coastal low.

Yeah, the fact that it was so cold the night before last had an impact, I'm sure.

I wonder if anything was mixed in with the snow. The roads this morning were unusually slushy for 1-2" of snow with temps in the upper 20s.

Here in Chesterland, I believe at least 15” fell as of now with 3’ drifts against the front of my house. Easily the heaviest snow here since 12/2020!!

Nice, just yesterday, there were indications that it was going to be a pretty meh event.

NWS just upgraded much of NEO to a LESW!

Hopefully we can score nicely over the course of this week.
