Got about half an inch with the clipper this morning. Definitely didn't live up to all the hype. We'll see if the squalls with the arctic front later do any better.

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.

81 mph gust recently recorded at Lorain County airport

I would say we saw 50-55 mph winds as it came through. Tornado warning just to my SE.

I'll give this winter a C for my area. Not a great winter for snow (around 20") but a lot better than the pathetic 8" total from last winter. One good thing was that what snow came down stayed on the ground for a while, unlike the past few. If I were grading based on the winters I grew up with in the 70's, this winter would probably get an F. I've had to adjust my grading scale over the years, otherwise just about every winter would get an F.

Got about 1.6" here, a little more than I was expecting.

Got about 3.5" this morning. Looks very wintry out there!

First part was a dud here. Got less than half an inch. Hopefully the second part tomorrow delivers for us.

I wish I could be as confident as you are. Certainly there is big time potential here but plenty that can go wrong. Last few GFS runs have been pretty good but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Got another .6 last night, up to 12.7" for the season. Really looking forward to the 29" the 18z GFS shows for me just before Valentine's Day (LOL)

Some of these snow showers behind the main area mean business. Just picked up a quick half inch in about 15 minutes. Up to about 2" for the whole event.
