Speedskater Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 At 9 AM Tuesday morning near Lakewood Park, we have just over 3 inches of new snow. Yesterday, I was generous with a 9 inch guess, make it 8½ inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 2.7" this morning pushing me over 30" (about 32") on the year. Doesn't feel like it's been that much, though that is still probably abou but 10-15" below normal through January. I figure I average 75-80" per year out here. Would certainly be willing to meetup at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 3 February's have produced 30"+ of snow..... so we'll see how this one pans out. Even if things don't look ideal, a few big lake effect events can sneak up.

Picked up 1" last night (which is all gone now) bringing my total to a whopping 2" since the current "cold snap" began last Thursday. Congrats to you guys out east that have cashed in on the LES.

You certainly need non-lake effect snow to cash in...and there's been very little of that this winter unfortunately. Meanwhile places like Chesterland and Chardon may be sitting at 70" on the season and could see 100" if we see a few more good events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What a day out there... full sun and temps in the upper 40's. Sorry I jinxed the cold and snow by coming back to town. What's amazing is that the snow on the ground (at least IMBY) has been melting from beneath as the ground isn't frozen. The ground is remarkably soft for this time of the year. The long range is not looking great for cold and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised we didn't lose more snow today, but with tomorrow's near 60 and rain....it'll all be gone. This Thursday system is kind of trending a little north. Might be a low impact event.

OHweather Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Looks like we will pull off an inch or two of synoptic snow this evening with the most falling inland. Wahoo! Minor LES event tomorrow with a NW flow but potent shortwave going by. Normally in this type of situation some snow showers make it in from Lake Michigan and can cause a nice burst in the secondary Snowbelt and primary Snowbelt. Instability and moisture are good for a few hours tomorrow but it's brief. I think most areas will see an inch or two of LES, but someone who gets hit by the Lake MI enhanced bands could see a few inches in the higher terrain. Then it all melts again Saturday and Sunday.

I'll have to look that up, but if we could get 2" that may be the largest synoptic snow of the season lol. What a year. It's different from years past when this area felt like a synoptic snow hole...I think most Midwest areas are way below normal this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have gotten 5 or 6" of synoptic on December 11...but it has largely been a synoptic snow wasteland this winter. I anticipate the month of March will come in snowier than normal but we will see how big or small the dent in the seasonal deficit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherwx Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Getting dumped on under a nice band that looks to be training over this area. Nice surprise to wake up to! Edit: Essentially white-out conditions right now, even without any wind. Pretty rare treat for those of us east of CLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Got about an inch in half an hour at work with the squall. Some heavy snow showers have been more persistent at home so maybe I'll find a couple new inches there. had 1.2" with the synoptic snow yesterday evening and an additional 0.7" of lake effect this morning before I left.

Trent Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 This is certainly turning into a much more frustrating winter than I would have thought last fall. It's been the winter of lake effect snows, but even that's been hit or miss. From about CLE and points west this winter has been an absolute dud. It's sad that this winter is only marginally snowier than last at CLE, and last winter actually had more substantial snow cover than this year. It's hard to imagine the kind of pattern we'd need just to hit normal snowfall this year. 44" more here on out seems like an impossible feat. I think it's a pretty safe bet that this will be another below normal snowfall year at CLE. This would mean 5 out of the last 6 winters had below normal snowfall at CLE. The only salvage to this winter would be a blockbuster storm in early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Looks like some lake effect tomorrow into Thursday. Quick look at hi res nam and maybe .3 qpf . After that it's a good week or so of 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With full sun and the birds chirping is sure looks and feels like Spring out there. Sun angle is about the same as late October so it feels nice with clear skies. I'm about ready to close the book on this Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This upcoming LES does not have me impressed. Short fetch with marginal instability and pretty low inversion heights. Moisture is ok at times and the window is pretty long from tomorrow afternoon into Thursday afternoon so there could be just enough snow to plow. An upstream connection to the upper lakes could affect the Cleveland metro or Geauga County at times and a Huron connection should go into NW PA at times. I'm thinking 1-4" in the higher terrain of NE OH including the secondary Snowbelt...less than an inch closer to the lake...and 3-6" in the higher terrain of NW PA with less near the lake. This is a marginal advisory event for NW PA and sub-advisory for NE OH IMO. I struggle to see anyone in NW PA seeing 6" in 12 hours or 8" in 24 hours which is what is needed for a warning. Conversely I don't expect anyone in NE OH to see 4" in 12 hours or 6" in 24 hours for an advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
