OHweather Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 0.7" here overnight and this morning. Looks like the big winner this morning was Chardon with around half a foot. My "total" since Thursday evening is 1.8". The trough has appeared to edge back north over the lake and for a time here the best snow is going to be going into extreme NE Cuy/Lake/northern Geauga. There's another push south with the trough working its way east, it's currently approaching the Lake Erie islands, so that will hopefully get snow into more of Cuyahoga and southern Geauga again early to mid afternoon. It's still a guess as to where the best snow sets up tonight but I'm thinking Cleveland metro into the primary Snowbelt. There could be a mesolow or two that each drop a few inches quickly as they come inland tonight, and I really think CLE should go advisory for at least Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga for now and possibly expand later. Someone could still get a warning amount through Monday morning. Even if the best snow is on the east side tonight everyone should get a burst tomorrow morning as the surface trough finally pushes well south and winds go more north for a time.

OHweather Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Heavy band in NE Cuyahoga/southern Lake and Geauga again in areas that saw a few inches this morning. Can't believe CLE hasn't gone to an advisory yet, especially with more coming tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing nicely here, but the band has become disorganized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Nice smaller w-e band running from central Cuyahoga then out this way. Big flakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 CLE extended the advisory through 10AM which is a good call. The convergence has pushed inland to around 480/422 with NW winds north of it and W winds south of it, along with a somewhat disorganized band of moderate to heavy snow. This band should continue for a few more hours before possibly lifting north of the approaching shortwave and potential lake induced mesolow later this evening into tonight. The mesolow track is still less than certain, but the general WNW flow from Lake MI where the upstream bursts of snow and potential catalyst for the low itself suggest it will move in close to Cleveland or just east late tonight. With steep lapse rates and moisture to around 12-13k feet through the night tonight on forecast soundings, any bands this evening and ahead of the mesolow could produce 1" per hour rates, maybe some local 2" per hour rates if the band organizes at all. There could be very heavy rates with the mesolow itself in the neighborhood of 2-4" per hour for an hour or two. Behind the mesolow winds go N and a surface trough slowly pushes through, so this should allow moderate to heavy snow to expand southwest late tonight into Monday morning. We still have a deep layer of moisture and instability through Monday morning, and although the flow is between NW and N it is light and very well aligned, meaning I expected decent snows to continue in the Cleveland metro and primary and secondary snowbelt down towards Akron through Monday morning with a possible brief Huron connection as well. All told I expect a widespread 2-5" of snow from parts of Lorain and Medina Counties east through the Snowbelt tonight. A corridor of 6-10" is possible if the mesolow develops and tracks across parts of the area with a period of enhanced rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAIDEsNow Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 4.6" overnight, 1" today. Finally cracked the double digit mark for the event since Thursday, now at 10.6"...a rather arduous crawl. However, soon to reach triple digits for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This is turning into quite a good event for Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga Counties. They also added northern Trumbull to the warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Posting this for posterity. Wow, this is going to be an event places along the western lakeshore into Downtown will reference as a event that's great for that area. Band isn't moving and is intensifying over western Lake Erie. There could be a foot of snow in parts of northern Cuyahoga by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedskater Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 At 7 AM Monday morning near Lakewood Park (400 feet from the shore of Lake Erie) a quick guess is 9 inches overnight. With maybe 1 inch Sunday morning that mostly melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Weather Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Measured at 8:15 AM.. 15" here in Shaker Heights!! I can't get out of my driveway until our snowplow guy comes. There is over 2' in our apron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carumba Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Another band of moderate snow just started up here 1mi south of Chagrin Falls. I'd say easy 12" on our deck right now. I woke up earlier this morning at around 5:30am and it was howling outside, very heavy snow. It always seems the events that aren't programmed to become the ones that overperform.

OHweather Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 There were some warning signs that this could be a good event but it definitely blew my doors off when it came together as perfectly as it did. The last little bit of that big squall earlier and occasional snow showers since then have pushed me to 5.1" since yesterday afternoon and 6.9" since Thursday evening so far.

featherwx Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Picked up a quick 2-3" this morning when the band raced through. Definitely only a fraction of what folks nearby got, but I'm very satisfied nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if you would've cracked a foot or not. Advisory out for 3-6" with the clipper tonight into tomorrow. We will see what happens. Heaviest should be east of Cleveland and Akron.
