Benadrill Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The line in the Brunswick Giant Eagle is wrapped around half the store. I guess people must think they are going to get snowed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 21 minutes ago, Trent said: It really is amazing how you could bank on a widespread 6-12" synoptic storm across NE Ohio almost every year or at least every other year. Now, it's becoming once every 8 years. CLE had a 3.7" seasonal snowfall deficit as of yesterday. It practically takes a miracle pattern just to get close to normal these days. This was a spectacular fail of a storm. Just amazing. And it's adding up in recent years. The seasonal snowfall isn't terrible, though quite unspectacular outside of the northern Snowbelt in terms of larger events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Saw ohweather mention the hrr in the other thread. It's trying to back the 6" line to the east side. It should definitely rip for a while once it switches to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I don't think it's going to be too much longer before the flip to snow. The precip turned over to mainly snow under the heavier returns which moved north. Radar is filling in the south now. Edit: As of 1:45 its all snow IMBY. There is a good chunk of moisture coming up from southern ohio. Looks like it will make a run for the eastern counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Ravenna ASOS says +RA and 30 degrees. Oops, I guess that's +FZRA (maybe?), Akron City has snow, Euclid KCGF has freezing rain, Cleveland Lakefront has -RA and below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLE was reporting light snow. Starting to accumulate here. We are at a higher elevation... but not sure that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 A few fine flakes have made it down at times, but mainly ZR and IP here so far. Untreated pavement has frozen over and the sleet is beginning to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the precip shield will condense or stay fairly ragged throughout the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the HRRR maybe I shouldn't have given up this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpbob21 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Around 1" here so far but hard to measure with the blowing and drifting. Looking at radar we should have at least a few more hours of decent snow so hopefully most of us can still pull off a few inches from this.

NEOH Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Waiving the white flag on this one. Radar is unimpressive with a bit of a sucker hole over the area... Not to mention the snow already dissipating on the nw side. 2-3 may be a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's almost like these deformation banding features wish to be lake effect bands. Wind gusts to 36kt at Cleveland Lakefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 1.5" so far. Bit of a sucker hole since 7pm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benadrill Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... An intense lake effect snow band developed off Lake Huron across Lake Erie into Lorain County. Received a couple reports of near zero visibility in Lorain County. Latest stream line convergence shows the band will slowly move east and weaken as it loses fetch length off Lake Huron and drier air pushes east into the local area. Expecting snow accumulations of up to 2 inches possible in the band as it moves across an area. Otherwise, snow associated with the low pressure system is pulling out to the east fairly quickly bringing an end to the synoptic snow. Only issues will be the pesky lake effect snow through the rest of the day. Made major changes to pop to account for intense snow band. Minor update to temperatures as well.

OHweather Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Much more impressive band from Lake Huron than I expected. It's too bad the winds are gradually shifting because I'm sure it's dropping at least 2"/hour rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta1984 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Quite a bit of blowing and drifting out there. Came up with 2.75" snow and sleet. Definitely some higher spots drifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Picked up 2" from the clipper on Monday and the on and off snow showers the past few days. Looks like a warmup and some rain over the weekend. It'll be nice to wash the salt off the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how long but hopefully it warms up enough to melt some ice on the lake. It has been a good 1st half of Winter so far. We've nickeled and dimed our way to a decent snowfall total. Might be a stretch to get to average if we have to rely on synoptic systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dta1984 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The 50s sure felt nice. Definitely nice to get a break from the prolonged cold we had. Hopefully the lake ice took a big hit and is primed for the second half of winter (at least initially ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Nice view of the lake today, and snow cover in Northeast Ohio which will likely be gone by later today. Lots of open water over the lake as most of the ice has shifted up the lake. Let's hope we can get a few chances for LES once the pattern changes. Its starting to feel like late winter already for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
