NEOH Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Merry Christmas! What an awesome morning with over 10” now. Lake effect is starting to pick up. Hopefully we can cash in for awhile before the wind direction changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to have been a widespread event , with even west side areas seeing almost a foot. Should add more throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedskater Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 At 9 AM near Lakewood Park, from my doorways, I measured about 7 to 8 inches of snow. Air temperature at about 20°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 A little over 10” here so far, maybe will get another fluffy inch or so through the evening with more to my north. This stuff falling right now is incredibly high ratio I’m sure it’s 30-40:1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedskater Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 So I went out to shovel, hard to measure with the drifting. But the next door meteorology student had it at over 12½ inches. I saw a little bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Up to 11.2”. Has been quite light for a few hours until recently but never stopped after we flipped around 2pm yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpbob21 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Just shy of 7" here. Nice overperformer. Hopefully we can keep the hot hand for the rest of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Looks like there was a good amount of blowing and drifting on whatever fell yesterday and last night. Difficult to get an accurate measurement, but average of 4.5" new. Storm total 15.5". Depth on the deck is right at 15". Curious to see the updated totals from CLE. South Euclid already had 16" early yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Some incredible storm totals for such a widespread area. Many 15"+. My measurement seems a few inches light given surrounding measurements. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=cle&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0&highlight=off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Somehow fluffed out about 2 more inches last night. Roughly 13” total, with much more to my north. Another awesome event this season, glad I was in town for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Picked up a quick 1.5" this morning. This is definitely one of the best December's I can remember for snowfall... right around 50" on the season now. Hard to believe CLE is only at 23" but they've always had snowfall measuring issues.

It's been an incredible December, and lake erie isn't even frozen yet. Might be a quiet next week or so, but we'll still have chances for lake effect later into the season than typical.

NEOH Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Winter doldrums coming to an end it looks like... although nothing that exciting on the horizon. Outside of the limited sun over the weekend it seems like we've had perpetual overcast with temps in the 30's for weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya was hoping to kick up some lake effect with the arctic front this weekend, but not sure that'll pan out. Sure has been a quiet January after a rocking December. Hopefully the last half of the month is more active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've got 3.5" on the deck from yesterday afternoon through this morning. Looks like another chance for decent snow Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get a decent lake effect event in at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHEATCENT Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 the last 3 weeks have been crap, 2 13 inch snowfalls that lasted basically 2 days on the ground in december, the medium range uncertain with high chance of more 38 degree rainers and finally no sustained cold to keep lake erie ice free and open for lake effect and we get so much of a west wind that it all hits erie -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Another 1.25 last night, and should be another round of more substantial snow tonight. Locally, have no complaints about this winter so far. We have just been missing sustained arctic cold, but it's been cold enough for snow majority of the time.

After the last couple of seasons no reason to complain on this end. Tonight is interesting... lots of moisture to work with a favorable flow albeit short duration. Wouldn't be surprised to see 3-5".

We had 2 of the largest synoptic storms we've had in years in December. Snowcover didn't hang around that long in your area near the lakeshore but that's the way it goes with marginal temps. You actually don't want sustained cold if you want lake erie to remain ice free. A west wind is really ideal for lake county -- but the past couple of days have favored northern Erie county in PA with a west southwest flow.

dta1984 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 3.5" last night, been a snowy stretch the past week. Looks like we'll do it again Thurs night possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looks like another couple of inches of snow tonight -- 2-3" possibly. Nice to have snow cover again. Next week is looking more interesting. A low tracking along the Ohio River is usually good for the northern third of Ohio. Still a long ways out but a blend of the model suite would be ideal.

amt5626 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I've enjoyed the light coating of snow that has managed to stick around the last few days. I am not surprised at all with how the early week system trended (north, warm, and dry) and with how the following storm is going to pan out (sheared out and south). Things are likely to continue looking not good as we head deeper into February and the SE ridge eventually sets into place. CPC favors warmth for the entire Midwest and East during the 6–10 and 10–14 day periods, and I would have to agree with that at this point. Euro weeklies also show these warm anomalies for the next few weeks. With Lake Erie still being mostly ice free, I could see a decent lake effect event for the secondary snow belt at some point before winter "ends," but I am starting to think we used up all our winter magic last month. It really is a shame that with so much blocking, the Pacific side continues to fail to cooperate. Recent GEFS runs paint the picture for what the remainder of meteorological winter may look like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had solid snow cover here in Geauga county for awhile. Not disappointed about missing a 5-8" snowfall at all. Imagine tracking this storm for a week for that. As we get into Feb my enthusiasm for winter tends to go away. Its pretty remarkable we've had as much snow as we've had without the lake freezing. Right around 60" for the season now... and the two December storms really made the winter for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
