Funny, I was gonna suggest the thread be extended until at least 1/31. Down here in the lower lakes the cold looks to peak around Fri/Sat. Forecast is showing multiple days of lows at double digits below zero. That is impressive down here in the banana belt. Also a ton of daily records are in play for CLE's CWA. Most records for 1/30 and 1/31 are pretty low hanging fruit (example CLE -4 on 1/30, -5 on 1/31) so some of these could be clobbered by 10 degrees or more.

Very impressive snow squall just passed through with vis down to 1/16 mile briefly. Picked up a quick inch of snow. Looks like it'll hit Cleveland in time to really gum up the afternoon rush.

Snow has begun here, a bit earlier than I expected. Hope that's a good sign.

Got a quick half inch with the squall that came through. Visibility dropped to a quarter mile. Roads are slick.

Got a little over 3" here but really difficult to measure with the blowing and drifting.

Got about 1.2" here. Most of the models had us getting a DAB, so a nice surprise.

Picked up another .1" from this morning's clipper. Visibility was below 1/2 mile briefly. Over 8" on the season. We have surpassed the entire 2023-24 winter!

Got about .9" here. Seasonal snow just under 8".

3" here. Hopefully it sticks around longer than what fell Saturday night.

Probably a mistake to jinx this one but this is looking like an overperformer for here. Already closing in on 2". That band that went through Erie and Huron counties is delivering the goods. Hopefully it holds together for you guys out east. Nice to finally be on the scoreboard for the season.

Once again most of the rain skipped over this area. That line formed about 10 miles south of here. We ended up with less than a quarter inch.

This "wet" stretch of weather has been a dud locally. We've had a little over a tenth of an inch (total since Sunday). Looks like south and east of I-71 has been the jackpot zone. Still some chances today but after that it looks like it could be a while before it rains again.

Speaking of Cleveland, yesterday was the 21st straight day with a low temp at or above 65, setting a new record. Will be interesting to see how long they can stretch this as there are no lows below 65 in the forecast for the next 7 days.
