Snow should be starting soon... HRRR/HIRESW runs showing 10"+ for BG/Sandusky/Lorain.

Yeah, looking good for you down there. Wouldn't be surprised to see some 12"+ lollipops by tomorrow afternoon. I'm thinking I may be a bit too far north; hopefully, we can still eek out 6".

It's pretty much going to be a Sandusky-Lorain jackpot... good for Lorain as they haven't really gotten a good storm there.

Here in Columbus we're still getting WAA aloft and the dew point is holding at 34. Still looking at a changeover to a mix by 6am or so IMO. Back edge of precip is moving fast (just like past few systems, models seem to be really bad at that) but I like that huge deform/ULL snow in IL. That will be our one chance at a couple inches. Models are still kind of split on whether it hits or not...0z NAM has a nice hit with 1.7" of snow.

I don't know. I think the big winners will be northeast of CLE. I could see maybe 10-15 inches up that way -- maybe a few 20" totals in the usual snowbelt locales in the higher elevations of PA southeast of Erie.

I've seen some people over in the other thread acting like this is going to be a bust. Not going to happen, if anything it will bust high for most areas. Although I could see it busting low here. These types of storms can really explode in a hurry. I remember in early April 2005, when I was back home, I went to bed around midnight. There was maybe a half inch of snow and it was lightly snowing and the storm was still pretty disorganized. I woke up eight or nine hours later and there was nearly a foot of snow, as a lake enhanced deformation band set up. The forecast which had called for an inch or less was upgraded to 6-12" after the storm ended. NW PA ended up with 2-3 feet of snow, as the snow lingered there through early afternoon.

Even the 00z models, which earlier had been hinting at the possibility of heavy snow even though CLE ignored them, had dropped to only .25" here -- so they even busted terribly low on the precip.

I don't know if it's true (haven't looked out the window) but TWC local forecast just said moderate snow with 0.3 mile visibility here in Toledo. They're usually pretty good about automating the actual conditions. Sometimes they even seem to beat the conditions by a little bit -- like they'll say something and 15 minutes later it will be true.

No, it's not true. Just a few flakes with barely any visibility restriction at all. It may have been snowing a little harder a little bit ago though, because it looked like some of the cars had a slight dusting. All of the virga must be tripping their system up -- there's probably 0.3 mile visibility several thousand feet above the ground.

Sometimes, you just gotta throw out the models and look at the actual weather. Sorry, man, but it's just not happening for you. You're too far south for any substantial snow.

what radar are you looking at bud? Also didnt realize you were a met, so please dude, dont talk to me like I am stupid, or a little kid. No offense really irritates me.

Dilly, why you getting so defensive? My god, he was making an opinion.

Because the wording he used made it sound like he was calling me stupid for posting the EURO numbers. Aside that you were in here when I posted it, so dont come trying to fuel the fire dude. I already messaged him.

Snow has begun. Looking at the radar... I wonder if that convection down south isn't preventing the moisture from moving north. Radar is overall not that impressive.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Unless that backside really hammers, I dont see how CLE is going to pick up all that much tbh. MFD is getting hammered. I cant believe youre just now snowing. Ive probably gotten 1/2 inch of rain already. Maybe more.

By not that much I mean in terms of what models showed. I definitely think CLE gets at least 6" possibly more, but 6 is a given I believe. If I were you guys that radar would worry me though.

I'm a little concerned. But probably just tired and paranoid. I was expecting to see moisture streaming north but that's not the set up I guess. The moisture seems to be racing off to the east.
