dilly84 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yea wooster isn't far from me. Will be interesting for sure. Temps down to 29 here. Still an icy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 That's a very large shift from the RUC compared to this morning... it barely had NWOH in 4" or so... now it's showing 6"+ Rapid Refresh/HRRR did much better. Is this the RR you were referring to? Looks fairly similar. Precip gradient looks a little sharper, and oriented more NW to SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is this the RR you were referring to? Looks fairly similar. Precip gradient looks a little sharper, and oriented more NW to SE Yeah. I'm glad that's supposed to replace the RUC this August... which is why I follow it more consistently. Of course it's nice to see 4 different Rapid Update models (HRRR, RR, RUC, and Backup RUC) running at once. I will admit the HRRR and RR were pretty warm with it's 12-3am runs with 850s freezing line running up the MI/OH border at 18z... but they got the precip field a heck of a lot better then the OP RUC did at that time.

Trent Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow. I'll feel a lot better about those totals once I see the snow start to fall. Nothing yet. Northerly winds should actually help the lakeshore. Congrats down south. Impressive total if the RUC verifies. The RUC is generally good about not going oveboard. A slight shift either direction will be huge. The CLE AFD offers little insight. Seeing as the radar is making little inroads for NE OH, I'm inclined to think 4" is a good bet, and as a region the largest snowstorm of the season.

Trent Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is this the RR you were referring to? Looks fairly similar.

dilly84 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 looking like I am going to get screwed based on radar. heavy snow a county to my north. just cant change over here. tries, but as soon as heavier band moes out it goes back to rain.

NEOH Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Tight gradient. Looks like 5" in Strongsville and 1" in Willoughby. Unreal. Snow is coming down nicely in Chagrin Falls now. Nice flake size. We need the winds to come around more Northerly to add some lake moisture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 heavy zr here now. Jeeze one county north heavy snow. Starting to think maybe the models were 25 miles too far south.. Hate sharp gradients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 not to mention radar doesnt look too impressive with regards to how long this is gonna last. the cold air needs to come 25 miles south lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 getting heavy sleet with snow mixing in. ping ping. lol. Big flakes mixing in. Should only be a matter of time before I change over. had the rain went to zr went to sleet now big flakes mixing in. problem is, when the heavier stuff moves through it goes back to zr. So it never fully switches over. Hate change overs. It's like it's hard to go from rain to snow, but easy to go from snow to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Still all liquid here (heavy rain also) in Columbus. Still 33.6F on campus. Latest RUC bufkit is showing a decent amount of frz/rain sleet with very little snow for CMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Pretty much nothing downtown attm. Yesterday Detroit had 10" today Medina will get 8" and nothing in between. Snow has tapered off now. My call of 1-2" may be too high. Yeah, we have been in nothing short of the snow hole this year. Don't forget some parts of Erie county PA had over 12" yesterday.
