NEOH

Quite a contrast to anything we've seen to date. Will be interesting to follow this call.

Larry Cosgrove was great last season and so far this "winter". His latest... What might turn out to be a dominant force for North America is the emergence of a Greenland blocking ridge next week. After some thunderstorm threats the next 72 hours from Texas and Oklahoma into the Ohio Valley and Mid-South, emphasis will shift to the western third of the continent, where a large 500MB vortex will eject a strong shortwave that looks top track close to 40 N Latitude by Christmas Day. Unlike the previous systems this month, this new feature will feature colder air and an extension of snow cover, possible through cities like Chicago IL, Cleveland OH and Boston MA.

The winds were pretty wild on Saturday. Nothing like the lakeshore out here... but good enough to drop quite a few dead ash trees.

Snowing pretty nicely out there this morning. Enjoy it while it lasts... looks like a 10-14 day break incoming.

It was definitely good to have a few smaller events in November. We did lose a lot of lake warmth with the cold temps... hard to believe temps are already in the upper 30's in the western basin. With the upcoming warmth the lake temps should hold fairly steady.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few inches tonight along the 322/Rt.6 corridor. Looks like winds may stay too westerly to push the snow this far south.

I'd say this is a suspicious snow report from South Russell . I live in the far east end of South Russell, and my office is in the far west end of South Russell (which is about 5 miles), and I can say this report is completely false. ..Geauga County... South Russell 11.0 645 AM 11/29 Trained Spotter 2 W Burton 8.0 715 AM 11/29 Trained Spotter 3 WSW Auburn Corners 6.3 730 AM 11/29 Trained Spotter 2 ESE South Thompson 5.3 610 AM 11/29 Trained Spotter 1 S Montville 5.0 700 AM 11/29 Trained Spotter

Same total IMBY. Right around 6" over the weekend. Some of those bursts were intense yesterday. Didn't last long with the shifting winds though.

3” total from last night. We’ll see what today/tonight brings. The snow is very wet as the temp jumped up to 33.

Under an inch here. Tonight and tomorrow do look good. The models may be overdone but they are all showing 4-6”+ across Geauga county.

Just a coating out there this morning. The wind is really strong so i wonder if that will cut back totals a bit as residence time will be reduced, and not allow for better band organization.

Thanks for the forecast. Will be nice to see the snow flying again. It has bee cold the past few days so lake temps are dropping quickly in the western basin.

It's pretty remarkable the ice extent is closer to the 1990's average than 2016. Obviously a lot can change in the arctic quickly.

It has been hitting the LES hard so far this season... mostly on its own. The weekend time frame does look interesting though. Surprised we are not seeing more a lake response from the cold today. Peaks of sun are coming through so inversion must be really low.

Looked like the bands sat just north of this area last night. The models handled the placement well.

The LES was kind of bust locally. Around 1" IMBY. These short duration LES set-ups are tough.

Good to have you back. That's awesome... Congrats on the new job at CLE! Will be looking forward to reading your AFD's. Now you can get the snow measuring straightened out at CLE finally :). Looks like 2" to maybe 4" for the Chagrin area. Rt.6 on east should be the jackpot area.

I was definitely surprised to wake up and see the WSW. I tend to agree with OHWeather re: snow totals given the short duration. Its lake effect though so its tough to forecast. Back to Winter tomorrow. Was hoping to get one last fall clean done but that won't be happening.

Definitely a great way to start the season. It was very wet with warm surfaces and marginal temps but scenic.

Leaves are about 90% down IMBY. One large red maple continues to hold on though.

It was good to see the snow last night. Surprised there wasn't more of lake response though. Noticed a couple cars on the road covered with snow yesterday afternoon... probably from lake county as that area was under the heaviest returns.

Thanks as always for posting your thoughts. Looking good for seeing some snow tonight. No interest in an October 2013 redo -- I still have branches hanging in trees from that event. Looking at some of the pictures from 2013 the foliage is much farther along this year.

We could really use some dry weather. Still misting out there this morning. I'd say we are at peak right now. Not much time to enjoy the color though as they seem to be falling quickly. More rain on the way this weekend.

Definitely a huge difference year over year.

No doubt that October has been a scorcher. Let's keep it going into November.
