Somebody stole a bunch of Ohio posters.  At least that's my story and I'm stickin to it.  

We're all standing at the edge of the cliff waiting for the 12z Euro to tell us it's time to jump ...

I’m kind of shocked. Went to Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target today, deader than a usual day. Crazy slow, let alone for a Black Friday

That's certainly not the case around here.  I had a couple stores I wanted to go to today, but saw completely full parking lots so I just kept on driving.

It is actually possible that the next 2 weeks will be more boring than the past couple.  Can't we get some tropical remnants or something?

Southern parts of the SF (at least) may have a shot with Delta.  12z models have moved north quite a bit.

Impressive.  It was 107 already at 9am, and 120 by noon.

They reached 120 at 11 am today. 

I'm going to predict a high of 131 today.

Not our sub but Death Valley reached 130 today.  Yikes.

Large increase in cases in Ohio.  Could be a one-off that quickly settles back toward baseline.  Will have to monitor trends there in the coming days.

I think a lot of that increase can be attributed to the big spike in cases at the Marion Correctional Institution.  Marion County has gone from 91 cases to 983 cases in just the last 5 days.  What's concerning to me is that the virus finally seems to be moving into rural areas.  My county has gone from 5 cases to 28 cases in just the last week.  Dewine is talking about opening up the state by May 1 - IMO it is way to early to even be thinking about it.

Line of snow came through and was really lame.  Probably 5 minutes or so of 1 mile visibility snow.  I was hoping for a quick 1/2 - 1", but not even close.  Hope it does better for you guys out east.

Got about 2.5" here,  1" from the synoptic snow then that lake band swung through and dropped another 1.5".  Probably as well as we could have expected.

Great analysis OHweather, as always.

I mentioned in the main thread that I just find it hilarious that Ottawa/Sandusky/Seneca/Erie/Huron/Lorain/Medina counties are the missing link in an otherwise unbroken string of winter headlines that runs from Montana to Maine.  I guess I can't really blame them for not wanting to pull the trigger, knowing how bad our snow climo is around here.  I do think some of the counties left out of headlines will eventually be added, especially Lorain and Medina (perhaps even warnings there) and probably the inland counties of Huron, Sandusky and Seneca.  The lakeshore counties might be a little more borderline with the warm lake temps cutting into accumulations,  but at the least it looks like everyone should get on the scoreboard for the season.

Just walked outside to get the mail and it's downright brutal out there.  Sustained winds probably 30 mph with gusts 40-45 mph.  We have been in between bands of heavier snow for the last couple hours but according to radar better snow is about to move in.  Hard to measure but probably around 2.5" so far here.

1" of snow here in Erie County.  Biggest snow of the season so far.

Even my area got on the scoreboard this morning with .5".  Didn't expect it.

CLE is currently at 6.58" for July.... currently #6 wettest. Could make a run at #5 if we get more rain tonight/tomorrow. 

And then you have TOL at just .30".  Amazing the contrast across 100 or so miles.

Not sure exactly how much I've had but looking at my lawn I'd say I'm closer to TOL than CLE.

Nothing but a few flakes here.  It's amazing how snow goes out of it's way to avoid this area.  Congrats to you guys out east.

It was too warm near the lake.  Sat at 33-34.  There have been a couple of marginal events where surface temps have been warmer than modeled.  An inch in Huron is ouch.  Definitely thought there’d be more based on the radar there, and saw a report on Twitter of 5” in Collins (which is much farther inland).  If I’ve learned anything from reading posts from you guys on the lake it’s that I’m never going to get a place right near a body of water if I can help it. 

It actually started out fairly promising with close to an inch falling quickly after the changeover, but then the precip rate slowed and some rain started to mix in and pretty much stayed that way through the rest of the event.  I'm pretty used to these really borderline events not producing in November and early December but it really hurts when it happens near the end of the snow season when the lake should be colder.  I guess it shows how much the warm temperatures the last couple weeks raised the water temperatures.  I think with a mostly frozen lake we would have done a lot better.

I thought the west side was finally going to score with this one. Add another 2-3” snowfall to the list. 

You did better than I did.  Just over an inch out my way.  Only a trace left on the ground this morning.

Only a few tenths out here.  Glad to see you guys out east cashing in.

Almost 3" here last night.  Looks like I'm just about in the center of the screw zone for tonight's event.  Hope the models are wrong!

Around 1" here so far but hard to measure with the blowing and drifting.  Looking at radar we should have at least a few more hours of decent snow so hopefully most of us can still pull off a few inches from this. 

Got about 1.3" from the clipper then that band came through about an hour ago and dropped another quick .5".

Not overly optimistic about snowfall. Just about all of the guidance has the heaviest snow north over the lake. And, the lake effect behind the system looks to set up well northeast given the wind direction. We just can't get a decent wnw wind direction. Hope I'm wrong but 2-3" is my call at least locally.

Yeah unless something changes this is really going to underperform.  Got about .8" here before the dry slot took over and the snow wrapping back in doesn't look real impressive.  I'll probably be lucky to reach 2".

Right around 5" for me.  Pleasantly surprised - felt like this system had major bust potential.

Got 1.4" with the first part of this clipper.  Hopefully can tack on a little more this evening.

Only picked up a couple tenths out here in Erie County.  Hoping for a little better from the clipper tomorrow but it looks like I'm on the southern edge and that's rarely a good place to be.

It doesn't look like CLE will be adding that much to the seasonal snowfall total unless a Huron band decides to hit the west side later. I didn't really get that much snow after this morning (less than an inch). The radar looked way better than what was falling, but the heavier returns were just east and south of the airport.

Right about that.  Last evening, looking at the radar you would have thought I was under a death band - I kept looking outside thinking I was going to see a whiteout and the best I saw was maybe 1 mile vis. light snow.  CLE even put out a Special Weather Statement calling for 1"/hour rates.  Umm, no.  The wind was probably more interesting than the snow.  I think I had more branches in my yard this morning than after the big windstorm last week.  Ended up with about 2" total, bringing me up to around 14" on the season.
