frostfern Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Getting much bigger flakes now. First hour had a lot of pellets mixed in. Intensity is variable. Seems very convective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looks like there will be a narrow window to get this stuff off of the pavement before it freezes solid. Gonna wait an hour or two and hopefully whatever little falls after that is fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 need one more band post frontal to do it's work to get me to the 3" mark. Should be fun when the wind and cold hit. So far as advertised. To think this was an upper lakes cutter last sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It looks like a legit blizzard with this last band. Enough snow had fallen, and with the heavy falling snow it's pretty gnarly out there. Hit a few spots on the way home where it was a complete whiteout, and the falling snow was quite light at the time. Can only imagine how bad it is right about now out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frog Town Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Why CLE wouldn't issue any advisory for the Toledo area is beyond me! We've had two inches in two hours and have accidents everywhere. We also have another 2 to go. On top of that we will have a legit flash freeze overnight with 30-40 mph winds and an absolutely treacherous morning commute. It's like having 7/10 indicators for tornadoes and not issuing a watch. Almost borderline negligent. If it's not happening in Cleveland proper or the snowbelt, they won't mention it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Snow literally came in like a wall of heavy snow just as models advertised. Snow literally came in like a wall of heavy snow just as models advertised. Sticking immediately to pavement and it's not even wet snow, looks more powdery.

I feel at times the NWS in Cleveland neglects their I-75 Counties (Lucas, Wood, and Hancock). Seems like at times they play favorites especially in their eastern CWA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 4.1" here. Maybe another .1 or so with some real light returns for the next hour. Pretty much right where I thought we would end up. Cool event overall. Really poured for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told a local meteorologist that it needs to be 4-6 inches of snow in a 12 hours period for a winter weather advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The final band added another inch to bring us up close to 4" for the event. Not bad considering we "wasted" 0.31" on rain earlier this morning. MLI has 0.69" total precip for the day. Back end of the snow is almost here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
