dta1984 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Measured 3.75" additional since this morning. So measurements so far; 2/8 2" 2/9 1" 2/10 8.75" ( 5" this morning + 3.75" at 6pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You guys are going to get absolutely pummeled over the next several hours. Single band forming from northern Lorain across Cuyahoga into Geuaga and Ashtabula...winds don't move much, convergence increases and there's a steady feed of upstream moisture from lower Lake MI feeding that band. There's also a trough with an accompanying burst of snow north of Detroit that will push south across the lake and contribute to very heavy snow over the next few hours. Instability...moisture depth...inversion heights...snow ratios and more organized bands will maximize rates. Still think some 3-4" per hour rates may occur for a time and I also think my widespread 4-8" for tonight in the Snowbelt including inland Cuyahoga with locally 10" will easily work out. With some minor to locally moderate addition accums Thursday I'm now fairly sure all areas will get into my forecast ranges and some will bust high...including more widespread foot amounts in eastern Cuyahoga than my map had.

Sweet! Radar is looking much better. Snowing moderate to heavy off and on. I'd imagine Cuyahoga gets upgraded to a warning soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Wow. It was dumping snow when that band briefly moved through here. I was outside for about 5 minutes to take out the trash bins and it snowed almost a half inch. Crazy rates! Fingers crossed for the rest of the evening!

OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I honestly have no clue what more CLE wants before issuing a warning for Cuyahoga. Not only will the eastern part of the county easily exceed warning criteria (if they haven't already) but some of western Cuyahoga will probably push it too. There's a band probably producing 3"+ per hour rates right now bisecting the county and no signs of it moving in the immediate future. I'll say this as nicely as I can but they have no idea what to do with Cuyahoga County. They have completely butchered it three events in a row now.

Yeah we have over 7'' in Ohio City Neighborhood on the West Side of CLE. I noticed when I moved here last two months ago that the NWS is not very good at updating and informing people of what to expect. OHWeather I trust your forecast more than the NWS of Cleveland hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Absolutely incredible rates! There's already several more inches on my driveway that was clean a few hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 7" in Ohio City is really good, more than I would've thought thus far. I'm not sure if the band will focus enough for any one spot to actually get 4" or more in an hour but instantaneous rates that high are definitely occurring. The band keeps back building over western Lake Erie. Pound town for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Absolutely incredible rates! There's already several more inches on my driveway that was clean a few hours ago. You don't see that often. The snow was just pouring down. Haven't measured yet but easily 12+ on the deck The band has slipped just south of us but radar looks good. If that band locks in there will be some huge totals tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The 480/422 corridor from Independence out to Solon and Bainbridge has been getting absolutely crushed the last hour. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It really isn't the sun angle yet. By March the suns angle starts to play a big role. One of the Tugs biggest event ever was Feb 3rd-12th 2007. 143" in 10 days. This reminds of the early season event we had in November 1996... The snow always became more cellular during the day only to organize again at night. Chardon picked up 70 inches... But the snow never seemed to come down heavy until evening. Great event so far so no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Too bad you aren't up here for this one. The snowfall rates under the heavier returns are amazing.I'm not aloud to complain after an out of the blue winter storm warning here yesterday CLE sent out a new WSW at 9:10PM and kept Cuyahoga in an advisory for 2-5". That's pretty much the hourly rate in the band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carumba Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am literally smack under the band, heavy snow here for last few hours and still going strong. Roads are atrocious, good to see Mother Nature back in business here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 115-mile long band of heavy snow, stretching westward into non-lake-effect-snow territory of Norwalk and Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The depth at CLE is 7" per the most recent hourly METAR. The depth at 5PM was 3". They took a while to get under the band and have already gotten 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My brother had roughly 8" total in Twinsburg as of midnight with a little over 4" of that falling this evening. My mom in my old stomping grounds in Solon had 10-11" total as of a little before midnight and got 6-7" this evening. No advisory in Twinsburg and just an advisory in Solon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Looks like 6.25" additional since 6pm yesterday. The majority of that fell between 6-10pm. Running total is at 18" since Monday. Depth on my deck is at 15". Also should specify I'm including 3" that fell before the lake effect in my totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAIDEsNow Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Rather pedestrian event here given the duration, 11.2" total as of 7:30am. 5.0" fell Tuesday night into Wednesday, 3.8" fell yesterday and 2.4" overnight. Not expecting much today, very weak returns on our local jet doppler radar. Light snow with tiny flake size at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow must have shut off after 11pm or so. By far the best LES event we've had in quite sometime... and a spread the wealth one at that. Would have liked to see the band lock in place for an extended period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherwx Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Under a band that's been training over Lorain for the past couple hours. Should put us over 6" for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Finally got some snow here as well from L. Huron. Last night I was a bit pissed last night when you Ohio guys were getting it and we were shut out, but Huron finally delivered and it's still snowing now. Probably 8+" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Do any of you have an idea on how much eastern Cuyahoga County got? The only spotter report is 11.5" thus far in Solon. I'm going to try to map the snow totals at some point when I get the time and that hole there is really annoying. And LPR is down to 1/4 mile visibility in that Lorain County band...not bad! A few areas may get 3 or 4" more today if the bands don't move too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Awesome congrats! There was a pretty large area that got 8"+. Thanks.

Based on the radar last night, I'd imagine the 271 area from 422 to near 322 were similar. Yep, looks like it's snowing good again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they have another 24 hour total reported this evening, which would help. I have the radar loops saved from early yesterday on which will help but I always give the ground truth reports most weight if they're there.
