frostfern Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I really hate days like today. The annoying mix of snow grains and freezing drizzle was enough to cause multiple accidents delaying the commute time horribly. Yet precipitation amounts are so meager there's nothing to show in terms of any additional white on the ground. Don't know why the storm track is so far north despite not being a particularly warm pattern. Always get this cloudy "unsaturated DGZ" garbage in the "warm" sector of clippers. I'm ready for sunny arctic airmass after this depressing crap. An actual synoptic snowfall would be nice at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching my hometown in SE Ohio get a double digit storm yesterday I am ready for something like that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare frozen ground here with some frozen snow piles. Thank goodness next week looks clipperier because my patience is getting thin. My total precip in Jan to date is just 0.27", with 2.8" snow.

Brian D Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looks like 4-6" around here. Heavy snow bands were moving through this morning. If there was much of a wind, it would have been whiteout conditions, but it was relatively calm. Still snowing north of me with the possibly of a little more developing for the afternoon down my way. After the low passes, very gusty winds from the NW up to 45 mph slated for the overnight. Lots of blowing snow mixed with lingering backside light snows will keep visibilities down. Hence the storm warning until tomorrow morning along the shore. Still waiting on a 70 mph blizzard making 6' drifts across roads like in my younger days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd estimate 5" fell here between 9 and 3 today. A lull now but should begin to pick up later on the backside... will likely see a window of heavy lake enhancement. EDIT: Upon measurement it was closer to 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Overachieved to a high of 43 today and lost about 2” of snow depth. The cold front just barreled through and we’ve dropped 8 degrees the past hour to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More reports coming in show 4-8" totals for NE MN. Temps still running mild at around 30, and calm. Wet snow. Cold air will harden that up overnight, but some will blow around in the high winds, especially with CAA snow showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Winds have really kicked up now. Snow blowing pretty good. Temps will drop to around 0/-5 by morning with balmy highs of 0/5 above tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like -5/0 inland to 5 along the shore this a.m. Temps will warm slightly today, just like down your way. I remember you mentioned you work outside. Tough sledding. When I was younger, I worked outside jobs as well. This stuff is harsh. The wind is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Since I'm more a tropical weather guy, I'm a little out of the loop. Can someone give me a rough idea of the next big snow blast coming for Northeast Ohio? The rumors around town are in a week and a half there's "another big one coming".
