Steve Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think we may have more snow on the ground right now..then we have had all winter..its close!! Grass is covered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The advisory is odd. This is the best setup for all encompassing lake effect. I hate to say it yet again, but CLEs forecasts and warnings are generally irrelevant. CLE likes to nowcast LES, issuing warnings and advisories near the tail end of events. I remain cautiously optimistic for tonight. Predictable CLE. Ironically, the band is falling apart. I've had 2.1" here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think we may have more snow on the ground right now..then we have had all winter..its close!! Grass is covered! Same here, very close to it. It actually hasnt stopped snowing here, but its just quick burst of snow showers then flurries and so on. Havent really added anything to the accumulations though.

Northernohio Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 already has passed to my east, hopefully something else can get going. My total is probably around 3 inches right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that assures you that you cant see the grass poking through, unless you didnt mow at summers end lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Predictable CLE. Ironically, the band is falling apart. I've had 2.1" here at home. We just hit 3" in Reminderville, but have been getting frindged by the band, my house in Solon 5 miles away might have an inch or two more. Anyways, still convergence along the western lake shore, lets see if this keeps the band going or if it falls apart into more scattered snow showers.

cincywxpro Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm surprised at how bad the roads around downtown Columbus near OSU were earlier. Very icy and semi-snow covered. Still slushy even now....We have about 1.25" on campus. Highest total I've seen in my area to your SW is 0.8" in Wilmington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Highest total I've seen in my area to your SW is 0.8" in Wilmington. Hard to believe the heaviest returns today was down in dayton, must have had a lot of melting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like 3.5" here. Places just to the south near Parma probably had 5 or 6. CLE probably tacked on another inch after midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernohio Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 i was in a narrow band last night from about 1115-1 and again this morning early am. This snow is really settling a lot but willing to bet my storm total is close to 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Picked up 4 inches total. Winds have come around to the WSW... but will be coming around to the WNW later today. With lift from the shortwave, and colder 850's the next shot of snow could be heavier. Funny to see the warnings CLE issued after most of the snow fell.

Northernohio Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Scott sabol of fox 8 is being quite bullish. Goes with 3-5 all the way west to Lorain and 6-9 near the lake in the primary belt. Personally Scott is one of the METS in Cleveland that I trust the most so hopefully he is right on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I counted 1.2" of snow as system before LES took over. It's remarkable the ratio of LES to system this season. It's a shame that primary band couldn't establish itself fully overnight, hopefully tonight is a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With lift from the shortwave, and colder 850's the next shot of snow could be heavier. Funny to see up and see the warnings CLE issued after most of the snow fell. The warnings played out as usual ... irrelevant. I'm excited for the next round, we could be back to normal snowfall this weekend without even having a "snowstorm" this winter.

I'm excited for the next round, we could be back to normal snowfall this weekend without even having a "snowstorm" this winter. The set-up last night wasn't exactly how I pictured it... but good nonetheless. I'm not sure how the next round is going to play out. Another trough will rotate through. The ULL will almost be overhead as well.... what/if any effect that will have on snowfall? I wouldn't be surprised if the snowfall is similar to what we saw yesterday. 4-6 inches every 12 hours if fine with me. The BUF WRF precip pattern looks odd. But looking at the radar it kinda makes sense as there is a band over the lake which will probably become stationary at some point. The WRF is showing high precip totals in the middle of the lake offshore from ashtabula. Btw... Looks like 5-6 inches out here in Chagrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernohio Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I got under a couple nice bands and put me up on the westside to 5 inches. To bad its already settled down because its so fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The BUF mesos really want to dump over Cuyahoga tonight. However, there are some feedback issues likely, it doesn't look right in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like CMH could get some good snow here shortly. I'm too far north. I think my location may be in the biggest snowhole in OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like CMH could get some good snow here shortly. I'm too far north. I think my location may be in the biggest snowhole in OH. according to the models i've seen, most of ohio should start fillin in nicely by late afternoon into evening.....looks like another inch or so for those outside lake effect areas.

NEOH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The BUF mesos really want to dump over Cuyahoga tonight. However, there are some feedback issues likely, it doesn't look right in spots. I mentioned earlier that they looked odd. But judging by the radar returns they are probably pretty accurate. EDIT: I think the strange look to the precip pattern is being caused by the winds shifting directions and moving the snow bands around. Just a guess. Looks like the snow picks up again tonight. My only concern is the ULL coming right over the top of us. I wonder if that will limit snowfall. Hopefully we can get a band to lock in place for awhile.

NEOH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can't ask for a better fetch than this for heavy lake effect in the CLE area. Perfect for single band development. Winds come around to an almost perfect direction around 5am and don't vary much for at least 6 hours. You can see where the winds converge over the lake pretty clearly. There are other variables to consider such as shear, and ice cover. But it doesn't get much better from a wind direction standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the good stuff is going south of us. Looks like only light snow...Maybe a half inch but with the sun still up it will be hard pressed to accumulate that much.

Looks like only light snow...Maybe a half inch but with the sun still up it will be hard pressed to accumulate that much. My thoughts exactly.. Don't look like much filling in going on and the band of snow is well south of me, and south of u as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
