Definitely read to close the books on this winter. Pretty good winter overall considering how bad December was. Jan and Feb were cold and snowy... and we had snow cover for an extended period of time despite the brief thaws. DTA is probably keeping track but I'd guess we are at or slightly above average with snowfall at this point. Unless April 2007 comes along I'm ready to move on to Spring. That was the heaviest heart attack snow I've ever experienced.
Started as sleet and freezing rain last evening and continued all night. No snow at all. Props to whatever model showed this (NAM maybe?). Everything is coated in ice with light snow falling now.
Yeah, far from an interesting storm. Will add a couple of inches to the annual total. Wonder if there will be some higher totals on the immediate lakeshore though.
Looks like a general 3-4" snowfall coming with the storm. Kind of hard to get excited about it after the warm weather the past few days. Still have snow patches in the shaded areas but most melted.
Snow cover should be reduced to patches and piles today or tomorrow. Torching out there with full sun... really amazing how strong the sun feels this time of the season.
Probably due to the freezing rain. Been awhile since we’ve had an ice storm. Was just out and everything is coated. Managed to keep 2-3” of snow in the yard… a few spots of grass here and there though. Dry slot looks to be moving in now. Hopefully that cuts back on the icing.
It does look ugly. The cold front is coming through CLE currently -- just south of the lakeshore. Seems quicker than expected as I thought the timing was evening. CLE is down to 35 already.
What a mess its going to be this evening/overnight. Still snow cover IMBY but lots of grass showing in open/exposed areas. Looks like the cold front is out by the islands at this point.
Nice to walk outside this morning and feel the mild temps. Burke is at 50 while its 40 IMBY... that area really torches with a south wind. Going to a mess out there after the rain and snow melt.
Looks like the big meltdown begins tomorrow. Not sure how much, if any snow will be left after 2 days in the 50's and rain. Still quite a bit of spread with the models... won't take much a south shift for the northern counties to see snow.
I can’t recall a radar representation like this. Highly unusual for sure. As you mentioned, some areas are going to see a lot of fluff today. That band in Lorain county is intense.
Good call on the snow last night. Picked up around 2 inches. Unusual look to the radar this morning with the light flow. West side should be picking up decent snow under the heavier returns.
Oh c'mon... I was just getting into Spring mode. But seriously... there should be plenty of open water to work with especially after the strong winds today. I'm sure the models are underestimating that.
The lake effect last night was very scenic this morning. Definitely unexpected. Was in bentleyville early this morning and it was dumping snow with at 3-4” of fresh snow. Very localized. Took some measurements around the yard today… Anywhere from 16” to 22” on the ground.
