Once those winds shift, the radar will light up like fire. I say by 10 am the western side of Lake Erie will be lit up and by the lunch hour it will have reached Cleveland. The rush hour today will probably end up seeing the heaviest stuff (but I'm not sure it will be sticking to the pavement).

yea should intensify quickly. probably have a hard time sticking to the pavement unless its really coming down or close to dark. Most is melting on contact right now. Lake Michigan has a solid band going which is a good sign for us

Picked up just under an inch last night. Nice to wake up and see everything white for change. Temps aren't that cold so snow is having tough time sticking to pavement.

You can see the wind shift on radar coming across the western basin. Looks like the low is somewhere around southern lake huron. Hopefully we'll see the forecasted totals from CLE verify.

Even if the totals are cut in half, it will seem like a winterwonderland out there. Just hoping for enough snow to pull our 18 month old around the neighborhood in a sled.

Snow is melting quickly downtown from the ground up.

All the plows are out but with nothing sticking to pavement, nothing to do. Doubtful any plowing/shoveling will be needed until nightfall.

yea pavement temps are just to warm. gonna take moderate to heavy snow for the roads to become bad during the day. another radar look

Just took a walk downtown. Absolutely brutal with 42mph winds. Snow is just whipping but still not sticking. I've never seen it where the snow gets harder and more intense but the snow on the ground is melting faster than it's falling. Bizarre.

In Solon its definitely sticking. Grass is covered, cars, and areas of the parking lot with no salt have some snow also. Coming down much better now than earlier this morning.

grass is covered here. just cant get it to accumulate on pavement. won't happen until 4pm or after most likely

Roads started becoming snow covered downtown around 3:30. Big fat flakes now and about 0.25 miles visibility driving home. It's a shame all of this couldn't have fallen during the non daylight hours, places would have 2-3x the snow depth.

Roads are really bad in Chagrin. Traffic is very slow, I'd guess around 5" on the ground, but I'll get my ruler out later.

Glad we finished our Xmas shopping back just after Thanksgiving. I couldn't imagine dealing with the first big snow of the season; I always find that drivers have forgotten how to behave in the snow. It usually takes a couple of storms before people's behavior falls in line with the laws of physics.

7" here in Chagrin Falls. Difficult to measure but we don't get the lake winds here in the valley, so the depth is fairly consistent.

Looks like 2" on the ground in CLE and CAK. Anyone know what Edgewater/BKL looks like?

I had a little over 2", that doesn't include the 0.8" that fell Thursday night/Friday morning but melted during the day. So about 3" total. With over 12 hours of gusts in the mid 40 mph range all the snow is just in drifts.

About 7" out in Reminderville after taking several measurments. Certainly a nice little storm. Unfortunetely the mid-level moisture pulled east a few hours faster than thought a day or so in advance which ended the lake effect a little earlier than hoped, but it certainly came down hard yesterday afternoon and evening.

Well, that Christmas Night snowstorm is slowly being modeled a bit more intense now. Perhaps a 2-3" refresher snow? Then the big show on Wednesday? Things are changing quickly in a hurry!

Next week is looking too good to be true on the models. The Chistmas eve storm could put down a few inches at least... then the larger storm later in the week.

Where's OHWeather's forecast?

Nice! 7" is a great storm. On to the next two...

I've been working way too much the past couple of days. I'll probably post something this evening after work.
