Frog Town Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Can NOT believe dry is air has worked into NW Ohio. It always finds a way. There's gotta be something about this location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioWX Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Very impressive snowfall rates around here. ILN tweeted about rates as high as 1.5" per hour. Sadly, I don't think it'll stick around long enough for any significant accumulation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could probably be here til like 1 am, which could give you theoretically 6-ish inches. That's significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Took a Jeb walk and took the measuring stick with me. Hard to measure, but averaging many measurements, I'm confident that at 9:00 EST, I had 7.4". Probably another inch since then. Just incredible out. A foot or bust. Actually, based on radar, wouldn't be surprised if we hit 14". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btcs31 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Disappointed the weather channel doesn’t have anyone reporting from areas getting pounded now, but I guess that’s typical weather channel. Hope Tom Skilling gets on at 9 and shows us the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Per meso we've been in the best alignment with the surface low, 850 and 700 for the past couple hours or so. Should continue for the maybe the next 2 hours from returns. Still recovering from the last venture in the truck, crazy s$%t out there lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That initial batch of heavy snow moved through very quickly. Still, some impressive bands yet to come through. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Dry slot pushing pretty fast north. Might be ending here sooner than I thought. Definitely best snowstorm of this lame winter here. Sadly missed a lot of the heavy banding to the east. When all is said and done should be in 4-6in range for storm total. Hard to measure though because of all the drifting. Next storm trending towards a dud here so glad this one at least trended better here. Congrats to the Champaign, Indianapolis, Chicago folk. You all look to jackpot with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Conditions are brutal outside, blizzardy with drifting snow everywhere. The only downfall is it is a powder snow and not a fluff bomb so QPF will likely verify but the 20:1 ratios will not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Cleveland Mets are saying the big snow should occur between 10pm and 3am. Looks like a dry socket over much of central/northeast Ohio, and more sleet and mix pulling up into Canton. This storm was REALLY hyped up here, hopefully it's not a total bust. People expecting 8-14 inches throughout Northern Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Guessing by visual depth and shoveling earlier KSPI will end up in the 6.5 - 7.5" range. i don't know how you accurately measure with todays conditions. Drove by the airport on the way home and it's an expansive flatland with little wind block as one could imagine, but the road was bare and wind blown snow whisking across it.
