Finally had a good drink yesterday... 1.6" of rain IMBY. Looks like CLE missed most of the rain. Not sure it is going to be a good foliage season... the colors seem muted with rapid leaf drop.
It definitely felt like a short Summer. August turned out quite dry around here with just 2.7" IMBY. Noticing some reds starting to show up in the maples which seems early... but has been a common theme the past few years.
July turned out similar to June... 8.29" of rain IMBY, with 5.18" at CLE. We had a nice dry spell during July but it didn't last long. Looks dry and comfortable for the next week or so.
I finished June with 10.81" of rain. Still too wet to cut portions of the yard. Looks like CLE only had half of that amount. Most of the storms just missed CLE to the South and East.
Lots of tree damage locally from the storms last night. Must have been a downburst. Power is out in many places in Chagrin, South Russell and Bainbridge. Closing in on 9" of rain for the month... current total is 8.67".
Already up to 5.5" of rain for the month. Quite a few power outages around after the line came through last night. Surprised CLE only reported .35" of rain yesterday... must have been missed by almost every storm.
Finally starting to feel like Summer today. May was just an awful month around here... cool temps with nearly 6" of rain. CLE finished May -3.3 with 5.30" of rain.
This year might be the longest we've had snow cover since I moved out to Geauga county. Despite snowfall being around average, we managed to avoid the big warm-ups and/or heavy rains.
The snowpack has taken a beating the past few days. Still solid cover IMBY but some patches of grass showing up in exposed areas. At this point I'm looking forward to warmer weather. It was a great Winter for snow on the ground.
Great day yesterday. Picked somewhere around 7 - 8"... hard to tell with the strong winds blowing everything around. The storm was much better than expected.
Recent model runs keep the low a little further southeast of here. Your area might flip to snow fairly quickly tomorrow morning. A low near PIT is usually a good track for northern Ohio.
Not sure what to expect this weekend. Typically a low near the panhandle of WV / or just north is a pretty good spot for snow in northern Ohio. Hopefully we'll see a SE trend today. Still have a solid snow/ice pack although there are patches of grass. It just refuses to melt at this point.
Looks like the low will pass near CLE tomorrow with rain unfortunately. The weekend looks interesting. Let's revisit today's 12z gfs and cmc runs on Sunday.
Snowfall has been bad around Northern Ohio the past few years. Its all relative though... 50" of snow in the snowbelt just east of Cleveland is considered a bad Winter. There are areas east of Cleveland that have likely had 90"+ already this Winter so the airport location is not a great representation of the entire area. 34 straight days of snowcover imby this year so no complaints compared to the past two winters.
Nice surprise yesterday... very scenic wet snow. Still a decent snow pack remaining around here, but today's warm temps should melt quite a bit. There should be enough thawing on the lake to at least provide some moisture to work with.
