Ecanem Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just woke up to what seems like a mess of wintry mix on the ground. 23.9 degrees and currently in a dry slot with what looks like a strong snow band on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 HRRR and RAP are still insisting on a pretty decent 4-6 inches across the county. Guessing the NWS isn't buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo74 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Woke up to about 1-1.5" of sleety snow in Ross. Enough to make the ground all white again. 23.7 degrees here. Radar looks promising. Snow staring back up here in the last few mins. I don't think much more accumulation, but at least we will enjoy a white ground for a bit longer.

MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just about 0.2” of ice on the tree limbs out there. And VERY minimal snow. A dusting to cover everything white. I can still see lots of grass. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 NWS recorded a total of 0.28” of ice accretion just before midnight so the warning seems to have panned out. A bit of ice and sleet and maybe a half inch of snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Is it just me, or do I not really see any more precip behind this band that is set to cross the immediate Pittsburgh area, and precip will wrap up soon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t just you. It looks like we are being split perfectly by the two bands of precip. Too bad as I think we could have gotten a few inches.

The radar was completely filled in for hours and hours yesterday when it was 33 degrees, now we perfectly catch the hole in the radar when we have a chance at anything good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t climo, it’s just awful luck. I don’t think any huge totals verified in NE Ohio because ratios were horrific, but a lot got 6-10 inches and I saw Crawford county got a foot. Just kind of amazing the front stalled for a good 12 hours or more in a spot that made us 33 and rain while 50 miles nw it snowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like for the most part the advisories and warnings panned out well for the ice etc. Overall a well forecast storm, models did pretty well. GFS was to cold and aggressive pushing the front through but generally was the first to catch on that there would be some impact here once all the models had flipped way NW. I thought the 3K NAM did well with temperatures once we got 12-24 hours out. It nailed us basically sitting at 33 degrees for 12-16 hours yesterday. I didn't flip to below freezing until somewhere between 11:30-12:00am then when I checked the radar at 2am it was evident the front was progressing quicker than it had all day and the back-edge of the more steady stuff was already encroaching into OH. All that being said, for my yard nothing but a nuisance. Only thing memorable will be what could have been. 36 hours of precipitation and only 4-5 of it managed to be some sort of wintry weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad I don't have to deal with power outages and cutting up fallen trees but at the same time I don't track sunny days either, I like to see the interesting and extremes and this missed by a pretty narrow margin on that metric. So what's next? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at storm reports from last night in NE Ohio around 6-7 and many places already had 4-8 inches then. Many places likely ticked up to 10-12 inches. Oh well, this was never our storm, it just got way closer than we thought just to tease us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just south of youngstown, my dad went out and measured about 5" on top of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Even though the dry air aloft if starting to bleed this system dry, i have some snow falling now. It is light and very fine, but it is falling. Anything is adding up right now with the temps around 23° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like for a bit we were in the game for that sort of outcome but the front stalling destroyed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's next? lol Yes I just shoveled my driveway. It’s like shoveling 1 inch of sugar glued to the asphalt. It was a fun storm to track but not the aftermath. Plus the snow and sleet came while I was sleeping. I want to enjoy watching it fall. Here’s hoping for a 2-4 clipper in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing your laundry in cold water is environmentally friendly so I can only assume washing your car in 32.1 degree water also qualifies.

Rd9108 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'd say this was about as well as you could forecast a storm like this. Nothing memorable, on to the the next threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
