Speedskater Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Meanwhile near Lakewood Park, we got the first real snow of the season Friday evening. But just over 1½ inch. Euclid is 15 miles to the east and the TV news reports that they received 17 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 32.8" in Kirtland so far! The radar estimated bullseye is actually a couple miles west-southwest of that spotter, so it's possible the true jackpot is along route 6 just west of Kirtland, or perhaps between route 6 and Wilson-Mills, and may be a little higher than that.

MAIDEsNow Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 17.5" for the event so far. Nothing fell during the day yesterday (Friday), but 7.5" overnight thru 8:45am this morning. Heading out of town now and it is snowing at a heavy clip. Think I am going to miss out on a good chunk of snow the next 9 or so days. Hope you all get lots of the white stuff. Good luck!

dta1984 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'll have to take a drive that way in a little bit. That's incredible ! We will get ours....just takes time . Haven't measured anything yet, but 3-4" is my guess here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Tough one to miss out on, but at least there is snow on the ground. Hopefully we will add some tomorrow. A flip to rain looks inevitable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Just came back from Chardon. Easily 18" or so there. Snow quickly increases once you cross into Chardon on Auburn a few miles south of 322. Up until there, a general 3-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Going 3-5" for all of us right now. Nice prolonged overrunning should drop 2-3" for us through early tmr afternoon. After that we are on the cusp of dry slot and mixing issues. Any further trend south is huge for us. We are riding knife's edge..:should see snow but the back half of the storm could make or break it in terms of bigger amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm going to make a map of observed snowfall from this lake effect event based on reports and radar. If any of you have amounts to report from NE OH or NW PA that you haven't posted already, please do post them so I can include them. The January 17-19th event last winter also had a swath of 2 foot totals in a similar area as this event...although I believe this event had a larger 2'+ area east of Cleveland and had higher max amounts...still trying to figure out if anyone officially broke 3 feet. I'm almost certain a couple spots tickled that number, but a spotter report of it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving on 306 a few miles north of 322 the snow picked up considerably passed Wilson mills. Once you get to the high school in Kirtland , it did seem to drop off....still 12"+ though . Mentor Avenue area was probably between 8-12". The southern edge was not far from here. Washington St probably only 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAIDEsNow Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 From a friend, she thinks Edinboro got about 8" yesterday. Sounds plausible - from radar and webcams, looked like snow / heavy snow all morning and afternoon til it lifted north around 4pm. With that and my measurements, would be around 24" for the event: 7.5 Thursday, 1.5 Thurs night, 0 Friday, 7 Friday night, 8 Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 1.5" so far. Seems on track. Light steady snow so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Took another measurement because I'm sure it will be compacted pretty good by morning . 3" additional , storm total at 5.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks for the measurements!! Held on to snow here until almost midnight, mixing with sleet now. Roughly 5" of snow so far. Had wet snow with fairly large flakes for a few hours this evening that added up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Certainly a frustrating start to winter here on the west side. Less than 2" from the lake effect event at the end of the week and a disappointing long duration 2" yesterday that ended up mixing with rain by the evening. We've been above freezing all night, which has eroded what little snow cover we had. It's weeks like this that make me wonder what kind of meteorological set ups CLE needs to get their ~68" average snowfall each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm going with a 6" storm total. There was more accumulation after my last measurement , but definitely melted quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get out to measure before the temp went above freezing... but somewhere in the 5-6" range seems right. This stuff is going to a glacier after tonight.

NEOH Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wonder what the next round of LES this week will bring. For those of who missed the last event hopefully the winds have a more NW component. Strong winds and dry arctic air usually are great for heavy LES but BUF seems to be on board with a significant event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping we get something to set up a little further south this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Snow depth here is somewhere between a trace and an inch. Grass is poking through most lawns with a lot of bare patches. It's hard to believe that just a few miles away it's a completely different scene. The set up this week could be a rich get even richer LES scenario. Hopefully things end up being a little more south to spread the wealth. Nothing worse than an arctic cold blast and bare grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
