NEOH Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 18z NAM and HRRR look pretty good for the first clipper. 3-5" across Northern Ohio. Nice to see the increase in precip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Definitely a trend to amp the clipper a bit more on today’s runs. May end up just being 2-4” across the board for all of northern Ohio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Pretty sure we could just expand the advisory for Sunday to the entire CWA at this point...this is coming in more amped / north and the 0z hi-res models like 3-5" (locally a bit more with some LES) for all of northern OH now. Should be a nice fluff factor along with a brief period of moderate to heavy rates. Early stuff looks a bit south with Monday's clipper, perhaps due to Sunday's being a little stronger in front of it. The NAM has some LES behind the Monday clipper and a bit more LES Tuesday night into Wednesday, assuming there's enough moisture flux through the ice on the lake by that point. This could be trending to quite a snowy few days for northern OH into NW PA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Had 4.75" just as this last band moves through. Probably make a run at 5" before the night is over. Definitely a nice surprise. Let's see what tomorrow brings.... maybe a few more inches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Got 4.5-5” of fluffy snow in Reminderville. The hills of the secondary Snowbelt in southern Cuyahoga, northern Medina and northwestern Summit got 6-8”. Another event that came in on the high side in what has quickly become a very snowy stretch for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Frog Town said: What are your thoughts for Northern Ohio for this next clipper?? Enough lift for a quick shot of moderate snow. I like 1-3" for most of northern and central OH, though feel 1-2" is more common than 3" since it's quick moving and the lift is noticeably weaker than today's system. However, it'll briefly snow pretty decent from west to east late morning into the afternoon. Could be a freezing drizzle concern Monday evening across Ohio as the low-levels look moist ahead of a cold front but the mid-levels will be dry.

NEOH Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Picked up just over 5" yesterday. Backyard is getting buried... been awhile since we've had a snowpack like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Radar looks good for several hours of steady light to moderate snow across all of northern OH with this clipper today. I feel a little more optimistic, feel like 2-3" amounts will be more common than 1" amounts. I don't think it'll snow hard enough to get too much more but it's looking like a solid little event.

Frog Town Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Agree! 80-90 seems to be the jackpot for this one. Amazing how these don't really show their hands until the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Findlay and Toledo are reporting 1/2 to 3/4 mile visibility which is pretty decent, are the flakes the bigger ones that can stack up quicker?

NEOH Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Snow has started in Chagrin. Smaller flake size but snowing well under the lighter returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Solid light snow (but with smallish flakes) here right now too, started in the last half hour or so. If it does this until 7 or 8 PM and we grind out 2 or 3" I'd take it. Just adding to the pack at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a great set-up, but there should be an uptick for several hours late tonight into early tomorrow and there will likely be some light accumulations in the Cleveland area and Snowbelt. Tomorrow night into Wednesday morning is actually a pretty good looking set-up for the primary snowbelt with a W or WNW flow and I think it'd easily be an advisory to warning event for Lake and northern Geauga on east, but we'll see if there's sufficient moisture flux through the increasing ice on the lake for that. There will be some LES either way, but I'm not sure if the ice will keep it in check. Seems like a pretty good set-up with a decently high inversion, light and well-aligned flow, and a good amount of moisture from Lake Michigan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over an inch so far. This snow seems much more dense than yesterday. Wonder if the snow will last until the evening as the back edge looks to be in western ohio.

OHweather Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It does seem the snow moved through on the quick side...we may or may not have gotten to 2" here (I haven't measured and probably won't today), though it's close. Already some light freezing rain / mist being reported in north-central and northwest OH, hoping the snow and treatment for it that we got today prevents issues with that as it's quite cold with temps in the mid 20s.

Definitely faster than modeled. Looks like the last batch is forming out west and moving east. Almost a convective nature to the snow right now. It dumps large flakes under some of these returns.

LakeEffectOH Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Got the better part of an inch today in Chesterland. Checked the radar and from what I can see, the back side is now moving in with some lake enhancement perhaps. Looks as if the back side may well be the more productive part for this event.

LakeEffectOH Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Looked at the radar again...the heavier stuff looks as if it just blasted thru at 90mph, lol! Still snowing pretty good, but not as hard as a few minutes ago. Flakes have shrank some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Picked up a quick inch of snow between 5am and 6am. Should get a good view of the ice cover on the lake today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It was snowing pretty hard early this morning. I came up with 3" total, yesterday+ overnight/morning. Pretty snowy past week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
