Trent Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm starting to wonder if March 11th will be CLE's last inch of snow this winter. It would be the 8th earliest on record. Still plenty of time yet through April and a slight chance later in the week however. Dayton and Columbus will probably end up below normal for the season. One of the few spots in the US.

It is snowing harder here than it has in about 2 months! Almost white out. Unreal! High winds too. Why oh why could this not be January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Today was interesting. Radar for NWOH (On 13abc's Live Radar has extreme NWOH in the 40s, with heavy snow in Findlay. Fun way to end winter I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like this will overperform. HRRR has 2-3" for NEOH tonight. Snowing nicely now with a few more hours to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Definitely over performing. Roads are now snow covered. It was snowing quite hard during my commute home. It's kind of fun driving through 1/4 mile visibilities with heavy snow while the roads are just wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wow, this snow came out of no where it seemed, with the forecast this morning calling for light rain today and rain/snow this evening. Over 2" here and still coming down hard with visibilities under 1/2 of a mile. May try to make a run at 3", however that back edge is getting closer.

Trent Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We have 3" on the nose here right now. Snow seems to be ending. 3.5" here as of 8 pm. Little band scooting the shore now. 4" looks possible. Crazy. Nice bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 3.5" here as of 8 pm. Little band scooting the shore now. 4" looks possible. Crazy. Nice bust Ya, I think the point and click for my location had a 50% chance of light rain today or something along those lines at 1pm before I left for work. By 3 it was steadily snowing. The snow obviously stuck to everything too, and during the middle of the day. Anyways, some interesting happenings for the middle of next week on the 12z models: Right now, some things that stand out... -Not a strong cold air source. The Pacific jet is dominating and there is not blocking progged over the northern Atlantic or North Pole. -This may allow any storm, if it occurs, to track farther west, if it can amplify and go negative tilt soon enough. -Rain or no storm seem like likely solutions, but this is the next one to watch for something significant.

Trent Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Looks like this was a widespread 3-5" for Northeast Ohio. I thought I was ready for spring, but this was a nice event. Five hours worth of good solid heavy snows that stuck to everything. CLE is now at 69.7" for the season. By my calculations the new CLE 30 year average should rise to 69", not sure how they smooth the data or if they toss out outliers. Nonetheless a 5-6 inch jump in averages from 1970-2000 to 1980-2010 is pretty significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I never understand the climate reports and F6s that come out of CLE. They must be auto generated and then a person updates them to the correct information a few days later. I don't understand how the METAR can report .28" but the F6 will say .20. The PNS had 3.7" at CLE as of 7 pm last night, with 0.03" liquid falling thereafter. Likely will end up being a 4" event. Also of note, CLE has had 7 consecutive days with a temperature departure of 10 degrees or more below normal. I think you'd have to go back quite a few years to see a similar departure.

You would think it is January by the way it looks outside. Hopefully the snow will melt in time for opening day tomorrow. What a difference a year makes compared to last Spring. It's been so cold lately the snow didn't have any trouble sticking to the roads last night. Time for sun and warmth. Hopefully this is the last of the snow.

Trent Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Looks like CLE never updated last Wednesdays snow. All winter the PNS statements would report a different number than what ultimately ends up in the climate report. The issue isn't just snow. There's no way CLE only picked up 0.53" of rain yesterday. Radar estimates were in the 1-1.5" range, with every personal weather station within a mile or two of the airport picking up at least 1.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It poured a good part of the day. Easily 1.25 IMBY. If anything they are consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I forgot how hot it was at the beginning of last April. YNG had highs of 83, 87, 84, 70, 79, 87, and 81 the first seven days of the month. All but the high of 70 on the 4th were records. I wonder if we'll see anything like that this month... the ground seems too wet to get any mid to upper 80s anytime soon even if there were a very warm air mass.

Trent Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 After last years summer April, this year feels cold and rightfully so. The lack of any spring torch is apparent. There have been only 6 other years which have failed to have a 70 degree day by April 7th. In fact the highest temp has been only 66 this year. There have been only 2 other years which have failed to have a 66+ degree temp by this date. Sunday should end that streak though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Could this year be the earliest last freeze on record for many areas? I was looking at the numbers from CLE's website and it showed most areas usually have their last freeze from late April to mid May. This year, there hasn't been any temps at or below 32 since the first week of April... and the forecast shows nothing even close to freezing for the foreseeable future. I don't even recall seeing any frost at all recently. Nevertheless, the greenup seems to be behind schedule (at least compared to recent history) due to all the cold, rainy afternoons.

Sure enough it happened. This April sucks!! Well, believe it or not, temperatures for most of northern Ohio are actually above normal. Lows have been really warm and highs have been really cool, making it seem cooler than it actually has been (since most people are out more during the daytime). Plus the clouds and rain feel colder than sun, even if the actual temperature is the same. The frequent gusty winds haven't helped either. 55 and rainy with a raw east wind feels a lot worse than 55 and sunny with calm winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a firm believer that the high plus low divide by 2 needs to be abolished. We've had several days this April where it's been 44 all day, a warm front comes through at 10 pm surging temps to 68 only to fall back to 44 by morning. The slight temp departure this month doesn't take into effect what the actual temperature was each day, but rather the anomalous 11:59 and 12:01 readings.

Also of note, just one below freezing night at CLE this month! I think the heaviest rain might set up just to our NW today, nonetheless it's been a soaker, Cincinnati is now around a foot of rain this April.

Looking at CLE data back to 1948, the earliest last freeze was April 8th in 1955. Barring any major cold snap, we'll be able to push that record up 5 days to April 3rd this year.
