OHweather Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 2 hours ago, NEOH said: We'll see what happens. I'm completely out of snow mode but early and late season snows are always interesting events. I won't forget April 2005 anytime soon... That was an amazing late season event. I was living in Lyndhurst at the time and I think we had 23". There were two impressive events in 2005...the one at the beginning of the month and then April 23-25, which was more significant for Cleveland proper...that may be the one that dropped 23" on you as I saw 20" in Solon. The early April event dropped about 8" IMBY. What a month to cap off a record setting winter that year. Models this afternoon thus far remain encouraging. I'm thinking the high terrain will need at least advisories and if the hi-res models are right and we squeeze out some good lake enhancement this could actually need a warning for some areas.

OHweather Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Looks like the low will pull away too quick for a huge snow...but a good 3-6" in the higher terrain from Medina points NE with more in inland NW PA seems like a good bet. Would expect 2-3" by the time you get down to Akron and Ravenna and 1-2" of slush along the lake. The hi-res models have a good 0.5-1" of QPF as snow in the higher terrain tonight but think some initial melting/low ratios/shorter duration than it could be may make it hard to see over 6". If we can get prolonged 1-2" per hour rates someone would pull that off but I'm not super optimistic attm. Even so think CLE needs some advisories for the secondary and primary Snowbelt overnight into the morning. Some areas could see some tree/powerline issues with the gusty winds and heavier snow accumulations on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With marginal temps and a warm ground it will be interesting to see how much it accumulates. As you mentioned, it will take heavier rates for bigger totals. The good news is that it will all disappear quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Not at home today, but traffic cams show no accumulation within a few miles of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Measuring off of the deck, had 4.5" as of an hour ago. Curious how central and west Cuyahoga did. They had some good returns in that area for a while , but may have not been all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temp is holding steady at 30 IMBY. Looks like we may add another inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedskater Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Zero snow near Lakewood Park. However at 9PM Thursday my wife had slushy snow on the car just ¾mile south of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 About 3" here. A spotter in Twinsburg reported 4" so they must've gotten more, I can't justify that much here. Too bad the lakeshore got zero...though not shocking. KERI saw 3-4" and they're almost on the lake, but they may have seen heavier precip or something up there.

OHweather Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 After a little more snow and a few measurements, came with a total of 3.4". Pushes me over 60" on the season (60.4") which is about 75% of normal (figure maybe an 80" average out here)...all things considered, compared to how the west side is doing, I suppose I can't complain much.

After today's snow, I believe I'm over 80" on the season. All in all it felt much worse. I had to double check my excel formulas this morning, because it doesn't feel like that much snow fell. The lengthy and frequent snow less warm spells that this winter has had are what will be remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lengthy and frequent snow less warm spells that this winter has had are what will be remembered. For your area especially, with the exception of the 20-30" that you missed out on in early December all of the events performed pretty well. When you get 10 or 15" at a time it does add up. But the two or three week snowless spells really took the wind out of this winter's sails, and areas that didn't get LES did really badly. I feel like most of the LES events that made it down here performed pretty well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 A few different reports of 6 to up to 10" in northern Medina and southern Cuyahoga County. Bedford Heights has roughly 6" and driving through northern Solon on my way in there was a bit more there...so some areas did quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectOH Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks like we had about 6" of paste in Chesterland. Down here at work in Solon...it looks more like 8" fell. Figures CLE issued an advisory with all the wind and snowfall. Late last night and this morning it looked more like warning conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Had an additional 1.5" of very compacted snow since this morning. Going with a storm total of 6". Bring on the 60's now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 This is starting to get borderline ridiculous, but this April is on track to be the warmest on record for Cleveland. I've lost count of how many top 5 warmest months have happened recently. The 12 month temperature anomaly for Cleveland is insane. When is the rubber band going to snap back to cold?

I suspect some of this is still a hangover from all the heat put into the atmosphere during the super El Niño, but I think it's pretty apparent that our "normal" is going up. It's been quite a stretch of warmth. Eventually we will get a string of normal or cooler than normal months and it'll feel unusual given how long this warmth has lasted. Early hints are that the heat backs off in early May for at least a time...while the rest of this week runs of April's average up some more.

Trent Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 April 2017 ended up being the warmest on record in Cleveland. February, April, August, and December have all had their warmest month established in the past year and a half in Cleveland. September and November had second warmest months established. So half the months have had either their warmest or second warmest month established in the past year and a half in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It was 36 imby yesterday morning with some frost on the rooftops. Not near as cold this morning. Hopefully that is the last of the temps in the 30's for awhile. Looking forward to the warmth this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HO1088 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It felt more like October this morning than late August. My low was 49°F. Has there been smoke aloft lately across Northeast Ohio? The sky has definitely had a milky appearance to it, and whatever it is looks like it is in the upper troposphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I haven't really noticed the smoke, but there have been some cool mornings the past week or so. Hard to believe snow season is fast approaching already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
