DanTheMan Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hello Ohio Friends! This is my yearly, pre-visit post to your lovely forum. I am driving up from DC Thursday afternoon and leaving Monday. I am starving for flakes, what are my odds of seeing anything at all during that period? Flurries? Anything?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance The lake effect fluff we had over the weekend will be long gone by the end of the week unfortunately. Looks like a chance of snow Friday/Saturday but nothing significant. Have a good trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As early as Wednesday afternoon, I didn't have a good feeling about this. Then, looked like the cold air adv. was a little slow and dry air adv. was somewhat aggressive. I smelled a bust. How big, I didn't know then, but I had my doubts about anything over 5-10". The LES cells on Thurs/Fri were disorganized/"pop-cornish" and fast moving which is common with late-season LES events. My best snowfall came on Friday Night when I picked up around 3". My storm total was 5-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance A clipper is progged to bring some snow to Cleveland (CLE) area starting very early Friday morning and continuing throughout the day into Friday evening. I see Friday as having periods of rain, rain/snow mix and all wet snow later in the day. Friday evening, wet snow could accumulate 1-2", especially north of the Ohio Turnpike. Additional lake effect snow for the snowbelt (East Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties) could get anywhere from an inch in Cleveland's Eastern burbs (East Cuyahoga) to locally 3+ inches in Ashtabula county. ...Stay tuned... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Chesterland did well but apparently I was mistaken. Mayfield and 306 almost always has more than South Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for the most part it was a dry (relatively), disorganized event. Higher sun angles during the daytime at this time of year often enhance the convection/subsidence process creating these dumb fleeting cells when one minute it's a whiteout and the next, the sun's out.

My storm total was 5-6". Not even breaking 6” in Chesterland with a 2-2.5 day W-WNW flow event is impressively bad. Drove in on 80 last night and we actually have like 0.3” where I am in Macedonia...which is relatively exciting because in February I saw 1” on 2/2 and a debatable 0.1” on 2/7 and...that’s it! Our seasonal total where I am in NW NJ is about 11”...I’m not used to their boom or bust snow climo yet for sure, and last year was mediocre as we barely squeaked out 20” (but had enough cool events that it “sufficed”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Looks like we can probably put the shovels away for the season. What an absolute torch it has been at CLE... December - +2.5 January - +8.2 February - +2.5 March (as of 3/10) - + 8.7 CLE's snowfall for the season is at 30.1" (-26.9" departure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 That was a wild storm last night. Amazing lightning. The winds toppled a few large trees as well. Better than most storms we've had over the past couple of Summers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at the radar loop this morning and it didn't last long so the rates must have been high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've had 2.5" of snow on the deck, less in the grass and none on pavement so far. Looks like temps are creeping up slightly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Surprised to wake up to accumulating snow this morning. I had 1" on the deck and a bit less in the grass. This will be the second time in 5 years I've recorded accumulating snow in May. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It actually accumulated a bit here in NW NJ too. Pretty rare in NE Ohio, borderline unprecedented here. I remember the 5/15/16 snow, was probably a bit heavier from Mayfield into northern Geauga but wasn’t as widespread as last night’s. I think we can put a wrap on this disastrous winter now.

NEOH Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Snowed again this morning but it didn't accumulate much... just a light covering. What a truly awful Spring. May 11th and still waiting for leaf out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ended up finishing right at 80" of snow for the year. Much better than last year, but still below normal. Looks like most of the snowbelt was between 72-96" according to this map https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/interactive/html/map.html?ql=station&zoom=&loc=Latitude%2CLongitude%3B+City%2CST%3B+or+Station+ID&var=snowfall_season_d&dy=2020&dm=5&dd=20&dh=12&snap=1&o11=1&o9=1&o13=1&lbl=m&mode=pan&extents=us&min_x=-88.116666666668&min_y=37.533333333329&max_x=-74.625000000002&max_y=45.124999999996&coord_x=-81.370833333335&coord_y=41.3291666666625&zbox_n=&zbox_s=&zbox_e=&zbox_w=&metric=0&bgvar=dem&shdvar=shading&width=800&height=450&nw=800&nh=450&h_o=0&font=0&js=1&uc=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Nice soaker at CLE today - looks like almost 3" in a short amount of time. It has been fairly dry imby this Summer but no complaints after the wet start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind more thunderstorm activity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Missed most of the storms yesterday afternoon. Only a brief downpour imby. It has been dry for weeks it seems... the ground is as dry as it has been in quite some time. Looks like a decent chance of storms over the next few days at least... then potential tropical remnants.

Gino27 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm really rooting on the remnants to give us some drought relief. Unfortunately the models keep pushing it south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
